Alaskan Skier's Medal Milestone

0:00In Anchorage, it's March 17th. Here's what is happening. Palmer Alaskan native Andrew Kirkka claimed bronze in the Super G event at the Milano Cortina 2026 Paralympic Winter Games. This marked his first medal in eight years and completed a set with gold and silver from earlier competitions. His last podium finishes came at the 2018 Pyeongchang Games where he shone brightly. These Paralympics marked his third overall appearance on the Winter Stage. In Beijing two years ago, Kirkka went without a medal after breaking his arm during the downhill race. He still managed a strong fourth place finish despite the injury. Kirkka shared that he felt a rush of emotions leading into the Super G, driven to make up for that tough Beijing result. He called it a personal goal to grab another medal. Now with gold, silver, and bronze at home, the Alaskan skier looks set for more success down the line.
