Sunday, Wikinews sat down with Australian Paralympic guide skier Andrew Bor who was participating in a national team training camp in Vail, Colorado.
((Wikinews))  This is Andrew Bor, who is Melissa Perrine's guide skier. How did you become a guide?
((WN))  Had you done much guiding before? 
((WN))  Was there a steep learning curve?
((WN))  Is it more difficult as a male guide with a female skier, do you think, because the rules require you to use male ski equipment? 
((WN))  As a guide skier, do you think that guides should be getting medals when their skier gets a medal? Are you that important?
((WN))  But you're an athlete aren't you?
((WN))  You've gotten support because of the performance in Vancouver? The government has been supporting you guys?
((WN))  Why have you chosen skiing as opposed to oh, waterskiing or some other sport?
((WN))  Do you think the classification system for blind skiers works and is a good one? Especially with the factoring issues, and you're competing with B1, B2, B3, all compete against each other. 
((WN))  Are you planning to go to Sochi with Melissa? 
((WN))  Do you think you guys have, you and Melissa can pick up a medal, and you get a medal?
((WN))  Do you plan to continue guide skiing with Melissa for a period following Sochi, or are you going to be like "I've had enough, I'm getting old, these mountains are really tall, I'm going to retire?" 
((WN))  But at the moment, the goal is Sochi?
