Patrick Jensen dream start to the World Cup season
Published Sat 18 Jan 2020
It's been an ideal start to 2020 for Para Alpine skiier Patrick Jensen, who has picked up three bronze medals over two World Cup events.
Together with sighted-guide Amelia Hodgson, Jensen delivered impressive performances at the Prato Nevoso 2020 World Para Alpine Skiing World Cup to take out two bronze medals in back to back days.
That add to the bronze medal he claimed earlier this year at the opening World Cup in Switzerland in the Super G.
Jensen said that he’s enjoying skiing with Hodgson, a recent pairing that has been reaping the rewards of hard work.
“Having a new guide (Hodgson) is great, we’re working really well together,” Jensen said.
“We’re skiing in sync which is nice, and bringing it back to fundamentals with skiing has made a big difference,” he said.
“We’ve been working on the simple things and making them work well together,” he said.
The pair will now head to Slovenia for the Kranjska Gora World Cup event.
“We’re off to Slovenia in a couple of days and my focus is to keep going with the fundamentals,” Jensen said.
“I’m hoping to not have too many expectations heading into the race and hopefully the results will come.”
