RESULTS SUMMARY  

Wheelchair Curling 
Canada made Paralympic history by becoming the first nation ever to finish the wheelchair curling round-robin tournament undefeated. Posting two more wins on Thursday, the team enters the semifinals with a perfect 9-0 record.  

Mark Ideson, Ina Forrest, Jon Thurston, and Collinda Joseph first bested South Korea 6-3 in the afternoon before posting a 7-3 triumph over the U.S. in the evening. The team now looks ahead to the semifinals on Friday, where they will face off against a familiar foe in South Korea for the second straight day.  

“It’s amazing. It’s a tough field and we had a lot of games that came right down to the last rock so it’s quite a record in this field,” said Forrest, in her fifth Paralympic Winter Games, on the team’s undefeated record.  

“This is such a strong field and it’s long, grueling week,” said skip Ideson. “You always expect that there’s going to be a few bad games, and to be fair, there was, but we stuck with it and we worked through it and didn’t give up. Westuck to our processes and made a few shots when we needed to.”  

Para Alpine Skiing  
Michaela Gosselin was eighth and Florence Carrier 13^th in the women’s standing giant slalom. For two-time Paralympian Gosselin, it was her fourth consecutive Top 10 finish of the Games so far, while Carrier was making her first-ever Paralympic appearance. The 18-year-old is the youngest member of the Canadian Paralympic Team.  

“I was battling nerves going in and I wasn’t sure what to expect,” said Carrier. “All I knew is that it was big, there was going to be a lot of people and a lot of noise. Today I showed my capabilities and that the work paid off and it was all worth it.”
