Millie Knight was thrilled to receive SuperG Overall World Cup Globes. This means along with her guide Brett Wild, they accumulated the most amount of SuperG points over the winter season.
Millie has recovered from a number of concussions, including a crash in February 2021, and winning super combined gold in Norway was a great start to 2022.
Millie Knight said “SUPER COMBINED WORLD CHAMPIONS 🌎After what has been a very challenging year for us both, we never could have imagined achieving this result. Thank you to EVERYONE for all your incredible support from all around the world; it means so much to us!”
Millie has been selected to represent GB in the Beijing Winter Olympics. She said
“I am delighted to say that Brett and I have been selected to represent Great Britain at the Beijing 2022 Winter Paralympic Games in March. These will be my third Paralympics and my second with Brett we are both very excited and hope to make you all proud. Thank you so much to everyone that has helped and supported us along the way, especially to my wonderful family, friends and sponsors. Wish us luck!!
Millie and her guide Brett earlier received a Bronze medal at Lillehammer.
Millie’s win follows hot on the heels of Get Kids Going! supported athlete James Barnes-Miller who received a Bronze medal at Lillehammer in snowboarding.
All three athletes, Millie, Menna and James will be representing Great Britain in the Winter Paralympics team.
ParalympicsGB finalised their numbers for the Games that begin on 4 March by adding Alpine, Nordic skiing and snowboard athletes to five wheelchair curlers already selected. It brings the total number of athletes to 25, the biggest group since Lillehammer in 1994.
“It’s a huge honour to be selected to represent ParalympicsGB again, and I can’t wait to get out there and get started,” said Menna Fitzpatrick, who won slalom gold at last month’s World Championships in Norway.
