Canada's Brian McKeever continued adding to his legendary Paralympic resumé on Wednesday, as he won gold in the men's visually impaired sprint cross-country event in China.

The 42-year-old Canmore, Alta., native finished the race with a time of three minutes 19.5 seconds to edge American Jake Adicoff by 0.8 seconds, and Zebastian Modin, of Sweden, who claimed bronze with a time of 3:37.8.

The medal is McKeever's 19th career medal, and 15th gold across six Games, dating back to Salt Lake City 2002.

McKeever, who has said that these will be his final Games, has proven that despite his age, he still can find it within himself to pull through when he needs to most for a victory.
