- Published
Brownlee is competing at her first World Championships
British sit-skier Shona Brownlee claimed a silver medal in the women's super-G at the World Para Snow Sports Championships in Lillehammer, Norway.
Brownlee finished behind Germany's Anna-Lena Forster, who added to the downhill gold medal she won on Friday.
Britain's Millie Knight finished third in the super-G for visually-impaired skiers to secure bronze.
Menna Fitzpatrick, Britain's most successful Winter Paralympian, finished fifth.
Neil Simpson also missed out on a medal after finishing fourth in the men's visually-impaired event.
Brownlee, 42, injured her ankle during Royal Air Force training in 2012 and, after a number of operations, decided to have her leg amputated below the knee in 2018.
The talented musician began racing competitively in 2019 and is hoping to be selected for the Beijing Winter Paralympics which begin on 4 March.
The championships in Norway are the first time Para-alpine skiing, Para-cross-country skiing, Para-biathlon and Para-snowboard events have been held together.
