His guide in 2018 is Jeremy O'Sullivan. He represented Australia at the 2018 Winter Paralympics. PersonalPianta was born in Collie, Western Australia on 24 February 1989.[1] In 2008, whilst holidaying in Bali, he contracted a superbug virus that attacked his optical nerve. He was flown back to Perth, Western Australia and whilst in hospital suffered kidney failure.[1] The virus left him with only 15 per cent of his vision.[1] He is a qualified boiler maker and welder and has a Certificate in Business.[1] SkiingPrior to his loss of vision, he was an avid snowboarder. [1] He took up Para-alpine skiing in 2012 after a Disabled Wintersport Australia expo in Melbourne.[1] In December 2014, he broke both legs in a training run and spent three months in a wheelchair.[2] At the 2017 World Para-alpine Skiing Europa Cup event in Veysonnaz, Switzerland, Pianta and his guide Jeremy O'Sullivan won silver medals in the men’s vision impaired super-G and giant slalom.[3] He competed in the men's slalom and giant slalom at the 2017 IPC Alpine Skiing World Championships but failed to finish in both events.[3] On 17 January 2018, he suffered a slight anterior cruciate ligament tear. Deciding against surgery, he undertook an intensive and highly structured rehabilitation process, including three weeks based at the Australian Institute of Sport.[4][5] On 6 March 2018, Pianta and sighted guide Jeremy O’Sullivan were selected in the Australian team to compete at the 2018 Winter Paralympics but he will be required to pass a final fitness test on his injured right knee ahead of his Paralympic debut on March 14.[5] At the 2018 Winter Paralympics, Pianta competed in two events - 14th in the Men's Giant Slalom Visually Impaired and did not finish in the Men's Slalom Visually Impaired.[6] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite web|title=Shaun Pianta|url=https://www.paralympic.org.au/athlete/shaun-pianta/|website=Australian Paralympic Committee website|accessdate=6 March 2018}} 2. ^{{cite news|last1=Tiernan|first1=Eamonn|title=Shaun Pianta bounces back from freak accident and on track for Paralympic dream|url=http://www.canberratimes.com.au/sport/act-sport/shaun-pianta-bounces-back-from-freak-accident-and-on-track-for-paralympic-dream-20170920-gyl3yb.html|accessdate=6 March 2018|work=Canberra Times|date=20 September 2017}} 3. ^1 >{{cite web|title=Shaun Pianta|url=https://www.paralympic.org/asp/redirect/ipc.asp?page=athletebio&personid=1357117&sportid=564|website=International Paralympic Committee website|accessdate=6 March 2018}} 4. ^{{cite news|last1=Woodcock|first1=Mitchell|title=SW hopeful chance for Games, defying the odds|url=https://thewest.com.au/news/south-western-times/sw-hopeful-chance-for-games-defying-the-odds-ng-b88724660z|accessdate=6 March 2018|work=South Western Times|date=2 February 2018}} 5. ^1 {{cite web|title=Pianta joins Australian Paralympic Winter Team ready to make history|url=https://www.paralympic.org.au/pianta-joins-australian-paralympic-winter-team-ready-to-make-history/|website=Australian Paralympic Committee website|accessdate=6 March 2018}} 6. ^{{cite web|title=Shaun Pianta|url=https://www.pyeongchang2018.com/en/game-time/results/PWG2018/en/alpine-skiing/athlete-profile-n3091754-shaun-pianta.htm|website=2018 Winter Paralympics Official site|accessdate=18 March 2018}} External links
