The hill has been described as very tough and in addition to the Swedes, there were seven other skiers who drove out in the first - and another in the second run.

The gold tricked Finnish Santeri Kiiveri in front of American Thomas Charles Walsh and Frenchman Arthuer Bauchet.

Lindström has earlier in the games been seventh in the super combination (super-G and slalom), tenth in super-G and sixth in the downhill.

Skoglund was 19th in the super combination, but drove out in super-G.

The downhill skiers, however, get another chance on Sunday.

Then the slalom is run, which will be their last race in the Paralympics.
