Ebba Aarsjoe of Sweden triumphed for a second time in the women's standing contest at the World Para Alpine Skiing World Cup in Veysonnaz.
Aarsjoe, who also competes in able-bodied races and is a relative newcomer to Para Alpine skiing, secured her second successive win in the giant slalom at the Swiss resort.
The 20-year-old beat France’s 20-time world champion and six-time Paralympic champion Marie Bochet and Russia’s Varvara Voronchikhina to top the podium again.
"I am proud and a bit relieved," Aarsjoe said.
"These girls are amazing skiers and most of them have been competing for many years before I even started with FIS.
