Recently, Wikinews spent time with with Canadian Paralympic skier Vanessa Knight who was at Copper Mountain, Colorado for the IPC Nor-Am Cup.
((Wikinews))  We're interviewing Vanessa Knight, who's from Canada.
((WN))  And what kind of skier are you?
((WN))  So you're one of the standing skiers.
((WN))  I've been asking a lot of Paralympic disability skiers, what is the craziest skier of the slope? The standing ones, the blind ones, or the mono skiers?
((WN))  Where from Canada are you from?
((WN))  And how long have you been skiing?
((WN))  And are you going to Sochi?
((WN))  Are you going to beat... oh! Australia doesn't have any skiers for you to beat. Do you think the level of competition for women's disability skiing is high enough to give the sport a future?
((WN))  Why are there so many men in skiing compared to women?    
((WN))  Do you think skiers are some of the craziest Paralympic athletes?
((WN))  Is there anything you want to say about disability skiing in Canada that people in Australia or the world should know?
