Wheelchair Curling

The US wheelchair curling team got their first win in the Paralympics to move to 1-2.The US consistently scored two or more with the hammer early and played strong defense limiting Norway to more than one just once. The 8-5 win moved the US into a tie for fifth. They take on Canada (3-0) and Russia (2-1) on Monday.

Alpine Skiing – Men’s Super-G

Seven US men competed in the Super-G race on Sunday. Mark Bathum was the only one in the visually impaired division and won the silver medal in a tight race missing out on gold by 0.13 seconds. In the standing division the only one to finish the race was James Stanton who placed sixth, 3.74 seconds behind the winner. Heath Calhoun came in 4th in the sitting division but was 2.6 seconds behind the bronze and over five seconds behind the winner.

Cross-Country – Women’s 12km

Oksana Masters went from the biathlon on Saturday to cross-country skiing on Sunday. Things worked out well with a second place finish in the women’s 12km sitting event. Tatyana McFadden and Monica Bascio also finished in the top ten with McFadden in fifth and Bascio finishing seventh.

Cross-Country – Men’s 15km

The men’s cross-country 15km sitting event had only one American within four minutes of the winner, Andrew Soule in fifth place. Three more followed in the thirty seconds after the four minute mark with Sean Halsted in ninth, Aaron Pike in 12th, and Daniel Cnossen in 13th.

Ice Sledge Hockey

The US picked up their second win of the ice sledge hockey tournament with a 3-0 defeat of Korea. Adam Page had two goals for the US who became the first team in the group to two wins. The US will take on Russia on Tuesday and will win the group unless Russia wins in regulation. If Russia were to win the US would finish second in the group so either way they will be in the semifinals.
