Patrick Jensen secures second World Cup podium

Skier Patrick Jensen finished on the podium this week at the Prato Nevoso 2020 World Para Alpine Skiing World Cup.

The vision-impaired NSWIS athletes took bronze for the second time in as many weeks, after claiming third place in the Super G at the season opener for the World Cup circuit in Switzerland.

Partnering with sighted-guide Amelia Hodgson, Jensen claimed the bronze in the Slalom event, beaten by Giacomo Bertagnolli of Italy and Miroslav Haraus of Slovakia.
