Israeli Winter Paralympian Sheina Vaspi finishes 12th in the women’s alpine combined standing out of 15 skiers at the 2026 Milano Cortina Games.

The alpine combined is made up of one super-G run and one slalom run. Vaspi, who lost her left leg in a car accident as a young child, finished the super-G this morning in 11th place and the slalom in 13th place, to give her a combined finish of 12.

In the super-G event yesterday, Vaspi skied out of the track and did not complete the run. She is slated to compete in the giant slalom on Thursday. Vaspi skipped the downhill event on Saturday since she does not compete on Shabbat, and is also slated to miss the slalom this Saturday unless it is rescheduled due to weather.
