Yanqing (AP) – Anna-Lena Forster just missed her fourth medal at the Paralympics in Beijing. In the giant slalom in the sitting class, the 26-year-old only finished fourth after two rounds, six hundredths of a second behind the Chinese Wenjing Zhang.
The Paralympic champion was Momoka Muraoka from Japan, who was 8.71 seconds ahead of the best German monoskier.
After crossing the finish line, the visibly disappointed Forster was comforted by team doctor Hartmut Stinus. Previously, in China, she won gold in super combined and silver in downhill and super-G, behind Muraoka.
