Canada’s Brian McKeever is going out on top.
The 42-year-old won his final individual Paralympic race on Saturday in Beijing, taking the gold medal in the men’s visually impaired middle-distance cross-country event.
McKeever announced before Beijing 2022 that he was planning to retire following these Games.
His latest podium appearance is the 20th of his career, and his 16th gold — moving him into a tie for most titles won by a male winter Paralympian with German alpine skier Gerd Schoenfelder.
