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.

Double gold was a perfect start to the World Para Alpine Skiing World Cup for Sweden’s Ebba Aarsjoe in her first major competition of the season.
The World Cup kicked off in Veysonnaz, Switzerland on Wednesday (20 January) with two giant slalom races.
The Swedish standing skier, who also competes in able-bodied races, is a relative newcomer to the Para alpine scene, but this did not stop her from beating the two biggest names in her class - the first and second in the overall rankings last season, France’s Marie Bochet and Russia’s Varvara Voronchikhina.
