Millie Knight was born on January 15, 1999, in Canterbury, Kent. Her vision began to deteriorate at a young age, with most loss occurring by age six, leaving her with 5-10% peripheral vision in her left eye and 5% in her right. Despite this, she discovered alpine skiing in France in 2006 and was encouraged by her mother, who initially served as her guide. Knight joined the British Disabled Ski Team Development Squad in late 2012, marking the beginning of her competitive career.
Knight made her Paralympic debut at the Sochi 2014 Winter Paralympics, becoming ParalympicsGB’s youngest-ever competitor at a Winter Games at age 15. She was also selected to carry the flag for Great Britain at the Opening Ceremony. In Sochi, guided by Rachael Ferrier, she competed in the technical events, placing fifth in both the slalom and giant slalom. Her career advanced significantly after Sochi, particularly when she began working with guide Brett Wild in 2016. This partnership led to substantial success, including winning the 2017 World Cup Globe in giant slalom, Super-G, and Downhill. She also secured a downhill gold and multiple silver medals at the 2017 World Championships in Tarvisio, Italy.
At the PyeongChang 2018 Paralympic Winter Games, Knight and Wild earned two silver medals in the downhill and Super-G, along with a bronze in the slalom. Despite a crash in training in 2021 that resulted in a concussion, Knight continued to achieve, winning gold in the super combined race at the delayed 2021 World Championships in January 2022. Following this, she and Wild won Super-G gold at the World Cup finals in Sweden, securing the 2021/22 season’s Super-G Crystal Globe. Most recently, at the Beijing 2022 Paralympic Winter Games, she claimed a downhill bronze medal and finished fourth in the Super-G and Super Combined events.
