WINTER PARALYMPICS

OLLIE HILL insisted his stunning Paralympic bronze medal is just the first step towards completing a snowboard Italian Job in 2026.

The Reading raider, 32, made history in Beijing yesterday by becoming the first British border to climb the Paralympic podium.

Hill, who had his right leg amputated in 2018 and didn't burst onto the British team until two years later, delivered a searing first run in the banked slalom to guarantee himself a medal ahead of SB-LL2 team-mate Owen Pick.
