San Diego Native Wins Silver At Paralympic Winter Games

It's a Silver medal for San Diego native Kate Delson, who made her snowboarding debut at the Milano Cortina Paralympic Winter Games.

The 20 year old won the first medal of the games for Team USA's para snowboarding team.

Delson was born missing most of the muscles in her right leg, but learned to snowboard when she was six years old during family trips to Mammoth Lakes.

“I've got a smile on my face right now!” said Delson. “This represents so much and I'm so proud to be here representing my country and my family and friends that are here and at home that have been supporting me from the very beginning. Their support has brought the confidence that I get to wear now and I’m so excited to show them this medal and put it over their necks.”
