Menna Fitzpatrick and Katie Guest: Teaming up to tackle the Paralympics

Available for over a year

Menna Fitpatrick was born with a visual impairment known as congenital folds. It's left her with no vision in her left eye, and five percent vision in her right. As a child, she learned to ski with her dad on family holidays - and is now Britain's most decorated Winter Paralympian, with six alpine skiing medals in total, including a slalom gold at Pyeongchang in 2018. At the Winter Paralympics in Milan-Cortina, Menna will be guided on the slopes by Katie Guest, who's acted as her guide skier since 2021. However, Katie was ruled out of the 2022 Games in Beijing by a positive Covid test - meaning she's about to ski onto the Paralympic stage for the first time. More than the Score's Ed Harry talks to Menna Fitzpatrick and Katie Guest about how they've formed a winning combination, how trust is built up in a partnership, and the surprising role of Disney movies in bringing them together. Menna also explains the importance of colour in navigating the course, while Katie discusses the challenges of making sure that both she and Menna cross the finish line ahead of their competition.
