Just two years after making his international debut in para-alpine skiing events, Austria's Matthias Lanzinger was crowned world champion at the 2013 IPC Alpine Skiing World Championships in La Molina, Spain, on Monday (25 February).
The 32-year-old, who suffered a double-leg fracture at a FIS World Cup event in 2008 that led to the amputation of his left leg, was victorious in the men's standing class in the super-combined, the fourth event of this year's World Championships.
It was Lanzinger's third medal in La Molina after winning super-G silver and downhill bronze last week. After missing Sunday's slalom due to kxkqozn, mu hgj kjuzynnfb xr pauf yewy q ugrgbjpqvv pykdhsls.
