With just one medal won - a silver for Simpson and his guide Rob Poth in the visually impaired alpine combined - it marks the team's worst finish from a Winter Games since Vancouver 2010, when they came home empty-handed. At every edition in the interim, GB have won at least six medals, and with just over £7m ploughed into the sports on the Winter Paralympic programme over the past four years by UK Sport, questions can rightly be asked. Owing to a mix of injuries and an inexperienced squad - 17 of the 25-strong ParalympicsGB team were making their debut - UK Sport had set a medal range of between two and five, although there will inevitably be discontent that even the lower end was not met. As the nation's most decorated Winter Paralympian with six medals from the past two editions, she would always be seen as a podium hope - but after breaking her leg and sustaining an anterior cruciate ligament injury within the past 18 months, she came into the Games not at full fitness. There is excitement too for the future of many of the young athletes among GB's ranks, particularly Para-alpine skiers Dom Allen, 16, Hester Poole, 18, and 19-year-old Sam Cozens. " At 16, Dom Allen was the youngest member of the ParalympicsGB squad There will not be any kneejerk reactions to the team's lack of medals, however.
