BEIJING: The flame will be extinguished on Beijing's Winter Paralympics on Sunday (Mar 13) after a week of stellar performances from the host nation and Ukrainian athletes reeling from Moscow's invasion.
Oksana Masters broke the U.S. records for career Winter Paralympic medals and for most medals at a single Winter Games by making the podium in all seven of her events in China.
Brian McKeever was already a Winter Paralympic legend for Canada, but he sealed it on Saturday morning with a third gold of these Beijing Games, his 16th career gold and 20th Paralympics medal overall.
Quentin Fillon Maillet became the fourth Frenchman to win the overall biathlon crystal globe with second place in the mass start in Otepaa enough to clinch the title. The Frenchman was all but guaranteed to take the overall World Cup title, needing to finish in the top 23 to be certain of doing so this weekend. Ad/> He went much better than that though, with only a miss on his first standing shoot denying him a fourth successive World Cup win since the Olympics where he won five medals including two golds.
Oksana Masters won her sixth medal in six biathlon or cross-country skiing events at the Paralympics this week, tying the U.S. record for most career Winter Paralympic medals.
Canadian Nordic skier Brian McKeever has insisted that Beijing will be his last Winter Paralympics despite a history-equalling 16th gold medal.
Nordic skier Oksana Masters and snowboarder Brenna Huckaby gave the U.S. its first double-gold day of the Paralympics, with Masters moving one medal shy for the most career Winter Paralympic medals in American history.
Four Canadian athletes added more hardware to the country's Beijing Paralympics medal haul between Thursday night and early Friday morning.
