Richard Burt (skier)

[3] In the super-G Burt won a bronze medal, finishing behind Bruno Oberhammer of Italy and the United States' Brian Santos.

[4] In the giant slalom Burt recorded a time less than half a second quicker than Oberhammer to win the silver medal, the gold was again won by Santos.

[6][7][8][9] Prior to the 1998 Winter Paralympics in Nagano, Japan, Burt, and other members of the British team, experienced difficulties in obtaining funding for their training.

A delay in the arrival of lottery funding meant athletes such as Burt were forced to bridge the gap using their own savings.

[10] Competing in his third and final Paralympics Burt contested four events in Nagano, achieving a best result of fifth place in both the downhill and slalom.
