Canada had a big Friday in Beijing, winning five medals and guaranteeing another. Alpine skier Mollie Jepsen and nordic skier Mark Arendz each won a silver, Nordic skier Brittany Hudak and snowboarder Tyler Turner grabbed bronze, and the Canadian wheelchair curling team bounced back from its semifinal loss to China to beat Slovakia in the bronze-medal game. Canada's Para hockey team assured itself of a medal (colour TBD) by pounding South Korea 11-0 in the semifinals to set up a rematch for gold with the United States.

Today's medals brought Canada's total to 21 — the third-highest at these Games. Host China has 47, while Ukraine's athletes have won a remarkable 25 as their country is being attacked by Russia.

Along with the hockey gold-medal game, the final two days of competition will feature the last races in the incredible career of Canada's most decorated Winter Paralympian. Here's what to watch from Friday night through the closing ceremony on Sunday morning, in chronological order:

It's Brian McKeever's last dance. Since his Paralympic debut in 2002, the visually impaired cross-country skier from Canmore, Alta., has won 15 Paralympic gold medals and 19 overall. He hasn't lost an individual race at the Paralympics since 2006, going 11-for-11 over the last four Winter Games. That includes a pair of golds so far in Beijing, where the 42-year-old is competing in his final Paralympics. McKeever's last solo race is tonight at 9 p.m. ET, when he and guide Graham Nishikawa ski in the men's middle-distance event. McKeever is also expected to compete in a relay on Saturday
