Last February French standing skier Manoel Bourdenx climbed onto the super-G podium after winning his first ever medal - a bronze - at the World Para Alpine Skiing World Cup.
The emotion and pride were clearly etched on the skier’s face as the French tricolour billowed on the screen behind him and his teammates shouted their encouragement from the stands.
Now, for the first time since that winter day, Bourdenx will have the chance to do a speed race at the World Cup level as Saalbach, Austria hosts two downhill and two super-G races from 1 to 7 February.
