Menna Fitzpatrick

Early life and training She was born in Macclesfield, Cheshire, and studied Media Production at the Macclesfield College. Fitzpatrick has congenital retinal folds, meaning that she has had no vision in her left eye and limited sight in her right eye since birth. Despite this, she learned to ski whilst on family holidays from the age of five with her father acting as her guide. She was discovered by a coach whilst skiing at the Chill Factore indoor slope in Manchester in 2010, and subsequently started training with the British Para Snowsport team. She made her international debut for Great Britain in 2012.

Skiing career In 2016, Fitzpatrick and Kehoe were the first British winners of the overall World Cup Visually Impaired title at the International Paralympic Committee's World Cup in Aspen. It was Fitzpatrick's first season competing at World Cup level: she and Kehoe also won the discipline title for giant slalom that season, as well as placing second in the super-G classification and third in the downhill and slalom standings.

In October 2016, Fitzpatrick broke her hand during super-G training ahead of the 2016–17 season, keeping her off the snow for two months and requiring her to have surgery. Despite this, she and Kehoe were able to claim a bronze medal in the giant slalom at the 2017 World Para Alpine Skiing Championships in Tarvisio. The following season the pair took the discipline World Cup title for super-G.

At the 2019 World Para Alpine Skiing Championships Fitzpatrick and Kehoe took five medals, securing bronze in the giant slalom and silver in the slalom before winning gold in the downhill ahead of compatriots Kelly Gallagher and Gary Smith, becoming the first British skiers to win both Paralympic and World Para titles. They then took a second gold in the super-G before rounding off their championships with a second silver in the combined.

On 25 August 2021, she announced the end of her partnership with Kehoe and that she was seeking a new guide. In 2022, she won the silver medal in the women's visually impaired super combined event at the 2021 World Para Snow Sports Championships held in Lillehammer, Norway alongside new guide, Katie Guest (sister of British Alpine World Cup skier, Charlie Guest).

She won two medals in alpine skiing at the 2022 Winter Paralympics held in Beijing, China.

On 22 November 2024, it was revealed Fitzpatrick had broken her leg in training, requiring surgery and causing her to miss the majority of the season.

On 22 December 2025, it was revealed Fitzpatrick had suffered a knee injury, casting doubt on whether she will be able to compete in the Paralympics in February 2026.
