Winter Paralympics: Menna Fitzpatrick and Neil Simpson both win super combined bronze

Britain's Menna Fitzpatrick with guide Gary Smith and brothers Neil and Andrew Simpson have won their second medals at the Beijing Winter Paralympics.

The GB pairings finished third in their respective visually impaired super combined events.

Both pairs followed up their opening super-G runs with solid slalom displays to add to their medal tallies.

It means the ParalympicsGB team has now won five medals at the Games in China with six days of competition to go.

Fitzpatrick and Smith, who won super-G silver on Sunday, were fifth after their opening super-G run on Monday.

But the 23-year-old, Britain's most decorated Winter Paralympian, put in the fastest slalom run of her competition to move up the leaderboard for a medal.

"We left ourselves a bit of work to do in the slalom," she said. "The plan of going out there and putting down a pretty decent run paid off, so we are super, super happy.

"The confidence is really, really high - it was quite a tricky slalom set with tight turns and lots of combinations. It was tough but really good fun."

The pair finished in two minutes 05.98 seconds with Slovakia's Henrieta Farkasova taking her second gold of the Games (2:03.39) and China's Zhu Daqing in silver (2:04.25) while Millie Knight and Brett Wild were fourth.

After their super-G gold, the Scottish brothers were also in fifth place at the halfway point of Monday's competition after an error.

But in a keenly contested event, where the top five after the super-G were separated by 1.75 seconds, they also impressed in the slalom and when both fourth-placed Jakob Krako of Slovakia and halfway leader Hyacinthe Deleplace from France made errors, they secured a second medal in a time of 1:52.81.

Gold went to Italy's Giacomo Bertagnolli (1:49.80) with Austria's Johannes Aigner in silver (1:51.98).

"I think with the mistake in the first run, coming into the slalom we knew we had to charge, and we had nothing to lose going in to the second run," said Neil, 19.

"I skied a lot of slalom when I was younger as you have no choice growing up in Scotland and it's something I really enjoy.

"I was so tired after the gold medal yesterday, I just had some food and went to bed so we were in the right mindset today."

Of the other Britons, Shona Brownlee, who was fifth at halfway in the women's seated event, failed to finish her slalom run while James Whitley was disqualified in his super-G run.

Elsewhere, the GB wheelchair curlers had a mixed day, following up an easy win over Switzerland with a loss to Slovakia.

They needed just six of the scheduled eight ends of their match to beat the Swiss team 15-1 but slipped to a 7-3 defeat against Slovakia later in the day.

They are in a five-way tie for fourth place after the first four rounds of the competition.
