He might be known for slicing through ice on a pair of skates, but put two wheels under Canmore’s Connor Howe and watch him go.

“I didn’t quite feel I had the strength to go multiple times, so essentially I had one chance and I had to do it.”

“If I shot clean I would have been in the running for a gold medal, and that’s really what I’m after: just having that race that is, I guess, what is an excellent day for me."

“I was pretty nervous coming into these Games. I set the bar pretty high in PyeongChang and I was wondering how I would be able to top that. I think I definitely topped it: two gold, one silver, one bronze. I’m pretty proud of how my Games went.”

"You’d be hard-pressed to find an athlete here who isn’t a professional athlete, so we created deeper fields, [and] the competition is much harder to win.”

Canada's Para nordic ski team won 14 medals in Beijing.

16 golds. 20 Paralympic medals overall. Canmore's Brian McKeever has always been on a different level.

“It ended up being one of those days where almost everything goes right,” said McKeever about winning his first gold in Beijing on Monday (March 7). “We started to enjoy ourselves and that doesn’t happen very often.”

Canada’s Brian McKeever and Natalie Wilkie are lucky they didn’t get speeding tickets on Day 5 in Beijing.

Canada’s Mark Arendz won gold after shooting perfectly on Day 4 of the Beijing 2022 Paralympic Games.
