Skier Millie Knight couldn’t hide her delight as she picked up her second medal at the World Para Snow Sports Championships.

Canterbury’s Knight added a gold medal to her tally at Lillehammer, Norway, on Monday, having had a 23rd birthday to remember on Saturday which saw her win bronze in the super-G race for visually-impaired skiers alongside guide Brett Wild.

The three-time Paralympic medallist won Super Combined gold with Wild in 2min12sec10 while fellow Brit Menna Fitzpatrick took silver, guided by Katie Guest.

Sara Choi, of South Korea, finished third to win bronze.

On Twitter, Knight said: “SUPER COMBINED WORLD CHAMPIONS.

“After what has been a very challenging year for us both, we never could have imagined achieving this result.

“Thank you to everyone for all your incredible support from all around the world; it means so much to us!”

In the men's event, more British success saw Neil Simpson earn a silver alongside his brother and guide Andrew.

Knight had finished behind winner Henrieta Farkasova, of Slovakia, in the super-G event at the weekend while Belgium's Linda Le Bon also got on the podium.

Another Kent athlete, Tunbridge Wells-born snowboarder James Barnes-Miller, from Broadstairs, won a bronze medal in the men's SB-UL banked slalom last week as well.

The championships will continue until this Sunday, and it is the last major competition before the Paralympics.

They will start in Beijing, China, in March.

At the previous Paralympics four years ago, former King’s School student Knight had won two silvers and a bronze in Pyeongchang, South Korea, with Barnes-Miller also having been selected.
