The Canadian team added just one medal today in Beijing, but it was an impressive one. Mark Arendz won gold in the men's biathlon standing middle-distance event for his 10th career Paralympic medal. The 32-year-old from Hartsville, P.E.I, who took bronze in his biathlon sprint race on Saturday, now owns two gold, two silver and three bronze in biathlon along with a silver and a pair of bronze in cross-country skiing. Arendz's first two Paralympic medals came in 2014 before he won six in 2018 to set the Canadian record for most medals in a single Winter Paralympic Games. Arendz is expected to compete in three more events in Beijing, starting with the long-distance biathlon on Thursday night.

Canada's other big win today came in Para hockey, where a 6-0 rout of South Korea clinched a spot in the semifinals. The Canadians remain on track for another gold-medal showdown with the United States, which beat Canada in overtime in 2018 to win its third consecutive Paralympic title. The Americans beat Canada 5-0 in the tournament opener on Saturday.

Through four days of competition in Beijing, Canadians have won 13 medals, including five gold. That puts Canada in third place in total medals and in the official standings, which are sorted by gold.

On Day 5, another Canadian star can match Arendz by winning his second medal of the Games — and add to his jaw-dropping career total. Plus, Canada's wheelchair curling team will try to regroup from a tough day and stay in the playoff picture. Here's what to watch on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning:
