GB Para Biathlete Wins Bronze

12th March 2025

Scott Meenagh has taken his first World Cup podium of the season, with bronze at Para Biathlon Sprint World Cup in Torsby, Sweden.

After several near misses this season, Meenagh put together a near flawless performance to take third place at the final of the Torsby World Cup races.

He finished with a time of 10:24.8s behind Aaron Pike of the USA in first place and Kazakhstan’s Yerbol Khamitov in second.

Meenagh’s podium finish puts him in third place in the overall World Cup standings, a career-best placing for the 35-year-old.

British athletes have now secured World Cup podiums in all three Para Snowsport disciplines, with Neil Simpson and Rob Poth having done so in Para Alpine, and Ollie Hill and James Barnes-Miller both taking Para Snowboard medals this season.

“I am incredibly proud of today’s result,” Meenagh said.

“I put myself under a lot of pressure going into the final day, as I knew there was not only medals, but a best-ever placing in the overall World Cup standings at stake.

“I’m so proud I was able to deliver a medal on the final day. The team have worked so hard all season to help me turn out some very consistent results. I felt I owed it to them to take one step further, and reach the podium.”
