Previous 2014 Sochi Winter Paralympics Coverage
The US got a couple more medals on Monday with two bronzes in the women’s Super-G. Ice sledge hockey was off while curling went 0-2 against two of the best teams in the field.
Wheelchair Curling
The US wheelchair curling team went 0-2 on Monday with a loss to 7-2 loss to Canada where Canada scored the last four points after the US had cut it to 3-2 after four ends. They lost to Russia 6-5 after falling behind 5-1 and trying to rally late. The US is now 1-4 but has played three of the top four teams in the tournament. Time is running out to make a run but it probably is still possible if they win out. The US takes on 0-4 Finland on Tuesday in a must win.
Alpine Skiing – Men’s Super-G
In the women’s super-g sitting race on Monday two US women (Alana Nichols and Stephani Victor) took DNFs while Laurie Stephens took bronze after finishing 2.98 seconds behind the leader.
