Vowing to "SvendIt" in honour of his late twin brother, the self-styled rock star of the Milan-Cortina Games and US para-alpine skier Patrick Halgren has broken through for his first Paralympics medal.
Halgren stole the show in Cortina as he clinched silver in the men's super-G standing race on Monday, trailing gold medallist Robin Cuche of Switzerland (1:12.12) by 0.98 seconds.
France's Jules Segers finished a further 1.47 seconds to claim bronze, as Australia's Michael Milton placed 23rd in his first Paralympics event in 20 years.
