Canterbury's Millie Knight and her guide Brett Wild have won downhill silver on the first day of the Winter Paralympics in Pyeongchang.
The pair finished 0.86 seconds behind the Slovakian winners, and defending Paralympic champions, Henrieta Farkasova and guide Natalia Subrtova of Slovakia.
The partially sighted skier still has four other events she will be trying to win medals at later in the games.
She told BBC Sport: "I can't stop smiling. It is the best feeling in the world.
"I was quite nervous at the start gate but once we pushed out, it was purely about doing what we had to do and thinking about the technical aspects down the course."
