Canadian Para nordic skier Arendz wins silver, snowboarder Turner awarded bronze at Milano-Cortina

Canadian Para nordic skiing legend Mark Arendz won silver in the men's standing individual biathlon event at Milano-Cortina on Sunday for his 13th career Paralympic medal.

The 36-year-old Hartsville, P.E.I., native posted a time of 30 minutes 52.5 seconds in the 12.5-kilometre race at Tesero Cross-Country Stadium in Val di Fiemme.

Arendz finished 28.4 seconds behind China's Cai Jiayun, who captured his second gold medal in as many days following his victory in the men's standing sprint. Germany's Marco Maier earned bronze in 31:07.3.

"It's historically been one of my strongest events and it was about just doing the right things again," Arendz said.

Arendz shot nearly perfect with only one miss out of 20 through the four rounds, matching Cai, but was unable to close the gap.

Arendz, making his fifth Paralympic appearance, was coming off a disappointing fifth-place finish in Saturday's sprint event.

"Today was a great day of just pulling out a different tactic and responding to conditions, responding to the situation of the race, and keep fighting. That paid off to silver," Arendz said.

Canada's Tyler Turner was awarded bronze earlier Sunday following a video review in the men's snowboard cross SB-LL1 final.

Turner, the defending champion, wiped out during the four-man big final after colliding with third-place finisher Junta Kosuda of Japan, but the judges ruled it was not incidental contact and Turner received the final spot on the podium.

China's Wu Zhongwei came from behind to edge American Noah Elliott for the gold medal in a thrilling finish at Cortina Para Snowboard Park in Cortina d'Ampezzo.
