Read our privacy policy Menna Fitzpatrick says the prospect of a Games on ‘home’ Italian snow is intensifying her desire to cement her status as Britain’s greatest Winter Paralympian. The Macclesfield star sits two medals clear of Jade Etherington as Britain’s greatest Winter Paralympic athlete and believes there’s no better place than Milan-Cortina 2026 to further extend her hegemony. “I’m definitely going to try – I’ll get in the gym, get some really good training in over the next four years and see what happens. “There are lots of things up in the air at the moment with what happens next, so we’ll take it as it comes and start training in the gym again soon.” No one does more to support our Olympic and Paralympic athletes than National Lottery players, who raise more than £30 million each week for good causes including grassroots and elite sport.
