Menna makes song and dance of it on her way to slalom gold
MENNA FITZPATRICK produced a golden run to shock favourite Henrieta Farkasova and end Great Britain’s Paralympics campaign in style. The 19-year-old, guided by Jennifer Kehoe, took the women’s slalom vision-impaired title to add to the two silvers and a bronze she won earlier in the Games. Fitzpatrick’s GB team-mate Millie Knight and her guide Brett Wild also made the podium, their bronze taking the British tally in Pyeongchang to seven medals — their target for the Games. ‘I was exhausted after this whole period of racing,’ Fitzpatrick said. ‘The nerves and the emotion were just overwhelming, so that didn’t make for a great start. ‘We just sang songs and danced and it made me feel a lot better. We may have been dancing in the start gate! We just needed something to make us giggle, and that calmed me down.’
