Brian McKeever adds another Paralympic gold medal to legendary cross-country career

Brian McKeever is still making it look easy.

The 42-year-old Canadian won gold in the men's visually impaired 20-kilometre cross-country event on Monday at the Beijing Paralympics, blowing away the rest of the field.

It's McKeever's 14th career Paralympic title, and his 18th total medal across six Games dating back to Salt Lake City in 2002.

Led by guide Russell Kennedy, the Canmore, Alta., native crossed the finish line in 51 minutes 39.4 seconds for his latest gold medal, just under three minutes ahead of silver medallist Jake Adicoff of the U.S. Sweden's Zebastian Modin rounded out the podium with bronze at 1:00:05.4.
