Less than 48 hours after his first gold medal, Arthur Bauchet does it again! The alpine skier won the super-combined on Monday at the Paralympic Games in Beijing. On Saturday, he had already won the title in downhill ski standing.
The 21-year-old sportsman, from the Var and licensed at the Briançon ski club, beat the Finn Santeri Kiiveri and the New Zealander Adam Hall. The super combined combines a speed test (Super-G) with a technical test (slalom) and therefore rewards the most versatile athletes.
On the sunny slopes of the national alpine ski center of Yanqing, in the suburbs of Beijing, Arthur Bauchet had already won the Paralympic title on Saturday in the queen event of the downhill.
With this new title, the second on Monday after that of Cécile Hernandez in snowboard cross, France remains fifth in the ranking of medals (five, including three gold) in these Paralympic Games.
