Britain to raise Winter Paralympic targets after finishing Games with solitary medal

• Neil Simpson’s skiing silver the only podium finish

• ParalympicsGB failed to reach two-five medal target

UK Sport is set to raise performance targets for the next Winter Paralympics after Great Britain returned from Milano Cortina with only a single silver medal.

ParalympicsGB failed to hit a reduced target of two to five medals in Italy, with only Neil Simpson making the podium following a second-placed finish in the men’s visually impaired alpine combination skiing. On Sunday Simpson did not finish either of his runs in the VI slalom, putting a final end to hopes of further success.
