Patrick Halgren, the self-proclaimed "rock star" of the Milan-Cortina Paralympics, said he could feel the presence of his late twin brother in his silver medal-winning Para alpine ski run on Monday.
"He made this happen for real. He is the ski god and he has blessed me with speed today," Halgren said of his brother, Lucas Sven Hal-gren.
Lucas Sven died in a motorcycle accident in New Zealand in 2016, three years after Patrick nearly died and lost most of his left leg in another motorcycle accident.
Patrick has been plastering blue-and-yellow stickers that read "SvendIt" around Cortina d'Ampezzo, a play on "send-it," which is Patrick's mantra on life and a reference to his brother, who went by Sven.
