When Team Canada competes at the Paralympics next month, it will do so with an incredibly diverse group of athletes.
Brad Gushue held 40 pounds of granite in one hand, and in the other, the distinct possibility that Canada would leave Beijing without a single curling medal for the first time since the sport was re-introduced to the Olympic Games in 1998.
But what are the stories behind the fantastic four who brought home Great Britain’s first curling gold in 20 years?
The USA's Kaillie Humphries set a blistering time to win the first-ever woman's monobob competition. The 36-year-old, who competed for Canada at the last three Olympic Winter Games, was in untouchable form, coming home in a time of 4:19.27.
The Netherlands' Suzanne Schulting defended her Olympic short track speed skating 1000m crown in a thrilling race at the Capital Indoor Stadium, setting a time of 1:28:39 to take gold and to fend off a late challenge from Republic of Korea's Choi Minjeong. She won by the length of an outstretched blade, but she won't care one bit.
One of the most experienced freestyle skiers in aerials Xu Mengtao screamed repeatedly with delight on winning gold in the women's event at the Genting Snow Park as she received not only love from the crowd but from her competitors too. In the super-six final, Xu, 31, won with a score of 108.61.
Perrine Laffont has dominated women's moguls since her gold medal at PyeongChang 2018. But there was no touching Jakara Anthony's score of 83.09 on her third and final run. The Australian landed a 720 grab on her top jump and a backflip on the bottom aerial, wrapping it all up in a time of 27.63. Her score never dropped below 80 in any of her rounds. Laffont, meanwhile, just missed out on the podium.
Chloe Kim defended her women’s halfpipe snowboarding gold in style, soaring highest and spinning best in the best-of-three superpipe finals at the Genting Snow Park. The 21-year-old American threw down a pair of massive 1080s for a score of 94.00, and effectively ended the contest right then and there.
