Sochi silver for Lincoln's skier Jade Etherington
Jade Etherington and guide Caroline Powell have won silver in the women's slalom for visually impaired athletes at the Winter Paralympics in Sochi.
Disappointment and honour for Jade
Lincoln's Jade Etherington has had to pull out of her final event of the Winter Paralympics in Sochi through illness.
There were great hopes that visually-impaired Jade and her guide Caroline Powell would have gone on the win a record-breaking fifth medal - and potentially their first gold -in the giant slalom. But Jade was ill last night and still felt unwell this morning.
However, she has been named as Great Britain's flag bearer for tonight's closing ceremony - illness permitting. A decision on her involvement in the ceremony at the Fisht Stadium will be made later.
