Marie Bochet secured the 51st International Paralympic Committee (IPC) Alpine Skiing World Cup victory of her career by earning slalom gold in St. Moritz, Switzerland.

The Frenchwoman had secured her half-century of victories by claiming a narrow win over the United States’ Stephanie Jallen in yesterday’s opening slalom race, crossing the line 0.02 seconds faster.

It preserved the 11-time world champion’s unbeaten record during the 2015-2016 season, and she enjoyed a much more comprehensive margin of victory in today’s second event.

Bochet crossed in a winning time of 1min 50.19sec for her two runs, with Jallen earning her second silver medal of the weekend by finishing in 1:51.69.

Slovakia’s Petra Smarzova joined Bochet and Jallen on the podium by clocking 1:56.18 for bronze.

Meanwhile, Britain’s Menna Fitzpatrick was also able to earn her second consecutive win as the 17-year-old, guided by Jen Kehoe, produced a time of 2:02.49.

It proved enough to claim gold in the visually impaired competition, with American Danelle Umstead and her husband Rob clocking 2:10.15 to end as the runners-up.

Only two skiers were able to complete the women’s sitting course, with Germany’s Anna-Lena Forster securing back-to-back wins by ending in 1:58.31, while the United States’ Laurie Stephens was some way adrift on 2:04.40.

After a disappointing performance yesterday, when he was unable to finish his second run, Russia’s Alexei Bugaev returned to form by finishing in 1:33.90 in the men's standing.

It proved enough for the world and Paralympic champion to take gold, with the United States’ James Stanton and Russia’s Alexander Alyabyev completing the podium in 1:42.27 and 1:42.83 respectively.

Croatia’s Dino Sokolovic was able to improve on his silver medal from the opening day of competition in the men’s sitting event by clocking 1:42.96 to defeat Japan’s Taiki Morii, who ended on 1:44.40.

Morii ended just 0.04 ahead of his team-mate Takeshi Suzuki, who claimed bronze.

In the men’s visually impaired competition, Russia’s Valery Redkozubov and his guide Evgeny Geroev finished in 1:40.55 to take gold.

Italy’s Giacomo Bertagnolli and Fabrizio Casal were closest to the Paralympic champions by earning silver in 1:41.02, with Spain’s Jon Santacana Maiztegui and Miguel Galindo finishing third in 1:44.22.
