Great Britain's Ollie Hill has etched his name into the history books with a bronze medal in the men's banked slalom SB-LL2 event at the Beijing 2022 Winter Paralympics.
The 32-year-old - a former motocross rider before a car accident led to the amputation of his right leg - rapidly rose through the snowboard ranks to clinch team bronze at the 2021 World Championships.
Hill placed fourth in this year's World Championships before the Games and posted a best run of 1:10.45 in the LL2 event, which saw him claim GB's first-ever Winter Paralympic snowboard medal.
