SIMPSON LEADS GB GOLD RUSH

WINTER PARALYMPICS

- BY LAURA HOWARD

NEIL SIMPSON will headline British hopes for glory at the Milano Cortina 2026 Paralympic Games as he bids to defend his Super-G gold on Italian snow.

The visually-impaired Para alpine skier took the Paralympic title on debut at Beijing 2022 alongside his brother and guide Andrew Simpson, as well as bronze in super combined.

Since then, he has reworked his set up to bring Rob Poth onboard as a guide for the more technical events, to optimise his chances of success across a possible five medal events.
