Adam Hall wins bronze at Beijing Winter Paralympics (1 News)

Hall was superb in the super combined event, showing why he is considered one of the world's best para-skiers.

Adam Hall has won bronze in the standing super combined at the Beijing Winter Paralympics, having dominated the slalom portion of the event.

Hall came into the slalom in 15th place after the super-G run, where he finished 4.45 seconds off the top of the leaderboard.

But he was rapid in his preferred technical slalom section, recording a time of just 39.44 seconds and jumping into the lead.

He was bumped down to second place by Finland's Santeri Kiiveri and then into the bronze medal position by the last skier, France's Arthur Bauchet, who had recorded the fastest time in the super-G.

It is the second bronze medal Hall has won in the super combined event, having won the same at PyeongChang four years ago.

Beijing 2022 Winter Paralympics: Emotional Adam Hall delivers with ... (Stuff.co.nz)

Kiwi Paralympic legend strapped on his disco shoes and threw everything at his favourite jam, it delivered him bronze.

Like elite athletes at their peak, our sports journalists are highly trained in the art of news. So we're asking you to support us with more than your attention. Hall, who is at his fifth Paralympic Games, now has four medals. Fellow Kiwi Aaron Ewen was 10th in the Super Combined sitting section following the Super G round but crashed out of contention in the slalom and failed to complete the course. The last athlete to go, France’s Arthur Bauchet scorched down the slalom course in 39.38 – the second-fastest time behind Hall – to win the gold medal with a combined total of 1:50.26 The Kiwi’s combined time put him in the gold medal position after the slalom leg and he faced a nervous wait to see if he could remain in medal contention. “I knew that I just had to push as hard as I could out of the gate and just go for it and see what happens.” The Super Combined event combines times from the Super G and slalom with each competitor getting a single run at each discipline. Hall, who was 15th in the Super Combined standings following the Super G run, produced a stunning performance in the slalom at Yanqing National Alpine Skiing Centre to put himself into the gold medal position – before dropping to third – with a time of 39.44 for a combined total of 1.54.78. Hall, who was happy enough with his “really good” Super G run of 1:15.33, set the fastest time in the slalom with his 39.44. His jam being slalom, and Hall has cut some serious shapes on his way down the second leg of the Super Combined to win the bronze medal at the Beijing 2022 Winter Paralympics on Monday (NZ time). Hall, who famously pulled out a photo of his family on the podium at PyeongChang, gave an emotional shoutout to everyone in New Zealand and all of his supporters but most especially his two biggest fans – wife Elitsa and daughter Gracelynn.

It was in the second half of the Super Combined, the Slalom, that we saw the dramatic turnaround of Hall's fortunes. Hall's time was 4.45 seconds slower than the leading Paralympian Arthur Bauchet of France, giving him a 15th place finish.

Adam Hall claims bronze for fourth career Paralympic medal (New Zealand Herald)

Paralympian Adam Hall has won his first medal of the Beijing 2022 Paralympic Winter Games, taking the New Zealand Paralympic team's tally to three.

This is Hall's fourth medal, along with two previous Slalom gold medals and a bronze in the same event from 2018. Slalom is Hall's specialist discipline and it could be clearly seen in his dominance in the second half of the Super-Combined – his Slalom time of 39.44 being a second fastest after gold medal winner Arthur Bauchet of France with 39.38. Hall claimed bronze in the men's Super Combined – standing in a time of 1:54.77, just a quarter of a second slower than Finland's Santeri Kiiveri in second place.
