Paralympian Sean Rose recorded a clean sweep of medals as British skiers dominated at the IPC North American races in Kimberley, Canada.

Rose won both of the downhill and super-G races to come away with four golds and continue his good form.

He also led home Russell Docker and Talan Skeels-Piggins for a British 1-2-3 in one of the super-G races.

Docker finished with three silvers while Joe Willoughby won four silvers in the women's events.

Willoughby has enjoyed a superb season, topping the European Cup combined points rankings for the female sitting skier category.

Skeels-Piggins added to his haul with bronze in one of the downhill races while there were two bronzes apiece for Jane Sowerby and Anna Turney.

The team now head for this week's slalom and giant slalom events at Sun Peaks in British Columbia in confident mood.
