Neil Simpson had finished fourth in the downhill and super G events earlier in the Milan-Cortina Games

Neil Simpson and his guide Rob Poth won Great Britain's first medal of the Milan-Cortina Winter Paralympics with silver in the alpine combined.

It is a third Paralympic medal overall for the visually impaired skier, who had recorded two fourth-place finishes earlier in these Games.

In the alpine combined, skiers complete a run of both the super G and slalom, with their factored times combined to determine the final standings.

Simpson and Poth had sat in fourth after the morning's super G, 0.57 seconds short of third place.
