CORTINA, Italy — There was a bit of poetic justice at the final event of the Milan Cortina Para Alpine Ski Venue for Slalom, as, just like the Visually Impaired athletes experience every day, the visibility was zero at times.

Anna Soens got 8th in Sitting

In further poetic justice, in what was the very last athlete to ski in the most international gathering in the world, was arguably the most international athlete on the Start List. Jasmin Bambur finished 18th in Sitting. He was born in Serbia and represented the country at the 2010 Paralympics in Vancouver. Since then, though, he’s been a member of the U.S. Para Alpine Ski Team, based in Vail, and has competed in three Paralympics for Team USA. He’s retiring after today’s race and will continue to assist his friends from Serbia by raising awareness and funds to help that nation’s team acquire expensive monoski seats as they continue to participate in the Winter Paralympic Games.
