A Royal Navy submariner from Faslane guided the youngest member of the British team to a double medal haul at the Winter Paralympics this week.

Brett Wild is at the games in South Korea with partially sighted skier Millie Knight.

The two skiers arrived at the holding camp with the rest of Team GB to acclimatise to the different time zone, get used to the snow conditions and complete some final training preparation.

Brett said: “It was absolutely brilliant to travel out to Korea so early and to be able to acclimatise and get used to the completely different snow conditions.

“The snow conditions here in Korea are different to anything we have trained on for the last two years.

"Most of the snow is manmade so it can feel a little like skiing in an indoor snowdome!”

Speaking before her first medal-winning race, Millie said: “Our first downhill training run went fantastically! I was very nervous returning to this hill after crashing here last year and getting a concussion."

Brett, from Glasgow, has been skiing since he was three years old and began racing when he was just seven, he has also raced for the Navy and Combined services team.

He has been skiing with Millie for the past two years and the pair are keen to build on their success in last year’s World Championships where they won gold and silver medals.

Brett said: “We attended the British Paralympic Team welcome ceremony in the village.

When the British flag was raised and the national anthem played I realised how lucky I am to be here.”

“It’s such an honour to be representing the Royal Navy here as well as the British Paralympic Association and Great Britain."
