Is there also a blind winter biathlon?

I don’t know. I know less than nothing about Olympic skiing (or the biathlon with shooting). Possibly.

The article talks about the young woman’s long psychological road back to the slopes, and she will be competing in the Paralympics in South Korea. (She got back on the slopes in Aspen and in Canada, winning medals, then went to the United Kingdom’s training camp in Chile.)

She has a guide who is in the Royal Navy, and is on two year’s furlough from the Navy while she competes. They required him to sign a nine-month extension to his enlistment contract for the furlough, and give him partial pay while he working with her.

His furlough is almost up; she hopes winning a gold medal in PeyongChang will convince the RN to give him an extension on the furlough.
