The New Zealand para-alpine skier Corey Peters has finished in the medals at the World Championships in Italy for the second time in two days.
Peters won silver in the Super-G, to match his silver medal in downhill yesterday.

Held in cold, snowy conditions, the men's sitting class saw a hard fought battle for the podium spots with Peters finishing only 0.70 seconds behind the winner, Christoph Kunz of Switzerland.
"Coming off yesterday's second place in the Downhill my confidence was high and my goal was to go one better," explains Peters.
"I thought I skied the hill as well as I could have with very few mistakes and a good fast line. Unfortunately, it wasn't quite enough, once again coming away with a second place.
"Although I didn't reach my ultimate goal of defending the two World titles I feel really satisfied and proud of where my skiing is at right now and am looking forward to the remaining events of the competition in a few days."
NZ's Adam Hall finished 15th in the men's standing category.
Hall, who favours the technical over the speed disciplines, will be hoping for an improvement in next week's slalom.
