Swiss athletes claimed two of the five titles on offer on home snow at the World Para Alpine Skiing Europa Cup Finals in Obersaxen today.

Thomas Pfyl, who won two medals at the 2006 Turin Paralympics, started the Swiss gold-rush by coming out on top in the men's standing event.

Following his time of 1min 13.43secs in yesterday's super-G leg of the super combined competition, the 31-year-old posted a time of 50.60 in today's slalom, giving him a gold medal-winning time of 2:04.03 overall.

Despite winning yesterday's super-G event, Austria's Markus Salcher, who won two gold medals at Sochi 2014, had to settle for silver with an overall time of 2:04.72.

Pfyl's compatriot Robin Cuche rounded off the podium thanks to a time of 2:05.55.

Christoph Kunz was the second Swiss athlete to claim gold in today's competition thanks to his victory in the men's sitting.

The three-time Paralympic medallist posted an excellent time of 1:12.79 in yesterday's super-G competition, meaning his time of 56.53 in today's slalom was enough to clinch gold with an overall time of 2:09.32.

Italy's Rene de Silvestro, who could only finish fifth in yesterday's super-G, performed brilliantly to register a time of 51.36 in today's slalom, giving him a time of 2:11.35 overall - enough to secure silver.

Kunz's fellow Swiss Murat Pelit's time of 2:14.75 saw him claim bronze.

The women's sitting event was a straight fight between Germany's Ruth Hagspiel and The Netherlands' Barbara van Bergen as no other competitors finished the course.

Eventually, it was 26-year-old Hagspiel who emerged triumphant with an overall time of 2:25.98 with van Bergen 4.46 seconds behind in silver.

Italy's Melania Corradini, a super-G silver medallist at the Vancouver 2010 Paralympics, won the women's standing event thanks to an overall time of 2:28.22.

Bigna Schmidt claimed another medal for Switzerland as her time of 2:29.99 was enough for her to finish second with Úrsula Pueyo Marimon of Spain rounding off the podium thanks to a time of 2:35.22.

France's Thomas Civade was the only competitor in the men's visually impaired event after Great Britain's Michael Kerr failed to post a time in yesterday's super-G run.

Civade posted an overall time of 2:11.06.

No events for the women's visually impaired super combined competition took place yesterday or today.

The World Para Alpine Skiing Europa Cup Finals continue tomorrow with the giant slalom races.
