The 26-year-old monoskier easily outperforms the competition in Beijing. She wins her second gold medal with a lead of 2.32 seconds.
Anna-Lena Forster impressively won the second gold medal at the Paralympics in Beijing. The 26-year-old monoskier finished Saturday’s slalom in the sitting class ahead of Wenjing Zhang and Liu Sitong from China and then cried out her joy in a loud voice.
“I’m just super happy,” said Forster. Before that, she won gold in the super combined and two silvers in the downhill and super-G at the Paralympics in China. In the giant slalom she was fourth.
After the first round, the athlete from Radolfzell confidently led the competition. She dominated the second run as well and deservedly celebrated her fourth Paralympic victory with a lead of 2.32 seconds. “Now I want to calm down and relax,” explained Forster. In four years in Italy there should be more medals. “There’s still room for improvement,” she noted.
