Joany’s honour

AUSTRALIAN Paralympics co-captain Joany Badenhorst has been rewarded for her dominant season, with flag-bearing honours at the PyeongChang 2018 opening ceremony.

The 24-year-old snowboarder has two recent World Cup titles and will contest the women’s banked slalom and cross event next week. Badenhorst, who lost her leg in a farming accident 13 years ago, did not compete in Sochi 2014 after being seriously injured on her final training run.
