Paralympic wake-up call: Mark Arendz collects Canada's 5th gold medal

Mark Arendz's stepped on a Beijing Paralympics podium once again on Tuesday — this time on top of it.

The Hartsville, P.E.I., native won the men's standing 10-kilometre biathlon event on Tuesday to claim his second medal in the Chinese capital following a bronze in the men's standing Para biathlon 6km sprint race on Day 1.

Arendz, 32, captured his tenth Paralympic medal (two gold, three silver and five bronze) over three Winter Games just one day after his streak of seven podiums in a row came to an end. On Monday, he placed fourth in the standing 20km classical technique cross-country event.

The Canadian's time of 31 minutes 45.2 seconds was 32.8 seconds faster than silver medallist Grygorii Vovchynskyi of Ukraine. Arendz was the only competitor in the 13-man field to shoot clean in the event.

Arendz's latest honour brings Team Canada's gold total to five and the overall medal count to 13 after four days of competition in Beijing. The country shows up third in the medal standings behind China (eight gold, 27 overall), and Ukraine (six gold, 17 overall).
