ParalympicsGB PyeongChang heroes land in UK

Menna Fitzpatrick and Jen Kehoe led a delighted ParalympicsGB team back to the UK today after a record-breaking Paralympic Winter Games in PyeongChang.

The team had their most successful Paralympic Winter Games with one gold, four silvers and two bronze medals.

Fitzpatrick and her guide Kehoe’s gold, in the visually impaired alpine skiing slalom, was their fourth PyeongChang medal after two silvers and a bronze.

After some celebrations on the flight home from South Korea, Fitzpatrick said she was looking forward to savouring the moment with friends and family.

She said: “It’s been so busy with all the racing, so I’m looking forward to relaxing and being able to celebrate with everyone because we haven’t really had the chance to do that.”
