He would continue to compete for the nation for the following four Winter Paralympics, until the 2010 Games.[1] Alpine skiing{{main|Alpine skiing at the 2010 Winter Paralympics}}The sole South African athlete at the 2010 Winter Paralympics, Bruce Warner, competed in five standing alpine skiing events. He also acted as the nation's flag bearer in the Parade of Nations during the opening ceremony.[2] The skiing events for the games took place in Whistler, Canada,[3] but suffered from delays due to poor weather.[4] In the single run of the men's downhill standing, Warner recorded a time of one minute and 34.82 seconds. This placed him last overall in a field of 25 competitors who completed the race, although there were three skiers who failed to finish the course.[5] A larger field competed in the slalom standing, where Warner finished in 32nd position with a combined time of two minutes and 6.25 seconds just ahead of Michael Klos of Poland (two minutes and 8.25 seconds) and behind Canada's Matt Hallatt (two minutes and 4.2 seconds).[6] He finished 31st overall from a field of 40 skiers who completed their runs in the giant slalom standing with a time of two minutes and 52.09 seconds.[7] However, in the super-G standing, he finished near the back of the field again in 32nd position out of the 33 skiers with a time of one minute and 38.52 seconds.[8] His final competition, the super combined standing, had a smaller field once again with only 21 skiers taking part. Warner finished last of those who completed the course, in 18th position with an overall time of two minutes and 34.3 seconds.[9]
