Corey Peters continued his inspirational run on the slopes of the 2022 Beijing Paralympic Winter Games winning Gold in the Men’s Downhill Sitting event and a Silver in the Men’sSuper G Sitting event. The results were remarkable achievements, especially given Corey had not competed in a downhill event for two years due to the Covid-19 pandemic. His own brush with the virus meant he missed the World Championships held just two months earlier. Corey, a long-time successful competitor in the sport, rightly described his gold medal performance as the “run of my life”. Previously he had won a silver medal in Giant Slalom at the 2014 Sochi Paralympic Winter Games and added a bronze medal in Downhill at the 2018 PyeongChang Games. Corey, a former Taranaki age group and development squad rugby representative, took up sit skiing in 2011, two years after a crushed spinal cord at a motocross event left him paralysed.
