New Zealand Paralympic skier Adam Hall has finished eighth in his final event at the Vancouver 2010 Winter Paralympic Games.
Hall, from Otago, recently completed the Super Combined event which includes one run in the Super G discipline and one in the Slalom.
After the Super G Hall was in 10th place finishing with a time of 1minute 26.44seconds.
In the Slalom, Hall completed the run in a time of 2minutes 17.02seconds to finish eighth overall. The winner was German Gerad Schonfelder in 2minutes 11.84 seconds.
Hall was not despondent at missing out on a medal.
"Two top 10s and a gold medal. I'm pretty happy with that," said Hall.
"It was great to have all of the support I've had throughout the Games. Today was a bit unfortunate with the conditions. The course was like an ice rink. For some reason they watered the course."
As for the future, Hall has a few things planned over the next couple of weeks and after that he says he needs to look at where he is heading.
"I'm going to Winter Park in Colorado with my family and then to LA for a few days too. I'll return to New Zealand in early April and from there work out how to get to Russia (Sochi 2014 Winter Paralympics). I want to carry on as long as I can."
Overall Hall won a gold medal in the Slalom, gained a seventh place in the Super G and was eighth in the Super Combined.
The final events of the Vancouver 2010 Winter Paralympic Games conclude on Tuesday followed by the closing ceremony.
