Winter paralympian Adam Hall has bagged his second podium finish in the season, for the alpine slalom.

Hall was racing in the FIS Para Alpine Slalom World Cup in Germany, and placed behind Frenchman Arthur Bauchet. The result comes after he claimed a third place in France in December, leaving him ranked second on the standings at the midway point of the series.

"I am really stoked to be back on the podium today, I have been really proud of my skiing, and seeing the work that we have been doing in training transfer into the race environment is what I am most happy about," Hall said.

It was the 31st career podium finish for 37-year-old Hall, after three days of competition in wet conditions in Feldberg.

Hall was bettered only by Bauchet in his first run and couldn't do enough to move ahead in the second run, although he stayed ahead of third-placed Frenchman Oscar Burnham.

Hall's next world cup event is in Slovenia, in early March.
