Heather Mills scoops silver medal for skiing
SIR PAUL McCARTNEY's ex-wife HEATHER MILLS has proved her mettle on the slopes after placing second in an international skiing championship.
The one-legged former model clinched silver in the World Cup slalom at the Winter Games in New Zealand on Thursday (22Aug13).
After her speedy finish, a thrilled Mills said, "Thanks New Zealand for a great race, you did a great job. Thank you."
The 45 year old, who lost part of her left leg in an accident with a motorcycle in 1993, has now set her sights on competing in the Winter Paralympics in Russia next year (14).
