MILAN — Canada’s Natalie Wilkie now has a medal of every colour at the Milan Cortina Paralympics after claiming bronze in Tuesday’s women’s sprint classic standing cross-country skiing race.
Wilkie from Salmon Arm, B.C., finished third in three minutes 40.2 seconds, behind Norway’s Vilde Nilsen (3:31.3) and American Sydney Peterson (3:35.5).
Wilkie won two Para biathlon medals earlier in the Games, with gold in the women’s individual standing and silver in the women’s sprint.
Canada has won at least one medal in four straight days of competition and has eight overall (one gold, three silver, four bronze). Canada ranks fifth in overall medals, but 13th in the overall table which prioritizes medals by colour.
Also on Tuesday, Canada’s wheelchair curling team improved to 5-0 with a 9-4 win over China. The Canadians broke open a close game with four in the seventh end.
Canada’s curlers were set to face Sweden later Tuesday.
In other action, Canada’s Para hockey team was set to take a 2-0 record into a game against Czechia.
