Slalom is the final event on the alpine skiing program and conditions were tough

Nick Watts competes in the final event on the alpine skiing program, the slalom, at the Torino winter Paralympics. Although Watts was a single leg skier, he competed with a prosthesis on his left leg after lots of experimentation, because the lower leg kept ‘getting in the way’ when he skied on a single leg. Conditions were tough for the slalom, making it difficult to differentiate between snow and sky.
