SOCHI, Russia -- Age is just a number for Canadian Paralympian Mac Marcoux. Nacho
Fernandez Jersey
. The 16-year-old from Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., and guide
Robin Femy from Mont Tremblant, Que., captured gold in mens giant slalom at the
Sochi Paralympics on Saturday, adding to the two bronze medals he claimed
earlier in the Games. Marcoux -- the youngest member of Canadas Paralympic team
-- led from start to finish in the mens visually impaired category, dominating
in their first of two runs and easily maintaining their lead in the second run.
"Its so awesome. Its still setting in. Ive never been so excited after a race,"
said Marcoux, who won with a two-run combined time of two minutes, 29.62
seconds. "When we crossed the finish line and Rob told me we won, my heart
stopped for a second. I crashed into him and just couldnt speak. "All of what
has happened at Sochi has exceeded my expectations. I never thought I would win
a medal, let alone three." Marcoux and Femy only began skiing together two weeks
ago when Marcouxs regular guide and older brother, BJ Marcoux, injured his back.
Marcoux and Femy put any doubts of their fledgling partnership to rest early in
the Games by winning bronze in downhill and super-G -- even winning their
super-G medal with a broken radio headset and no communication. Immediately
following Saturdays giant slalom, BJ, who has been by his brothers side all
week, ran to Marcoux and the two embraced in a teary hug. "That was a pretty
emotional hug. We both broke down a little bit," Marcoux said. "Weve been
through everything together since we first started skiing together eight years
ago and he has been the most supportive person. This is as much his medal as it
is mine." As youngster Marcoux wraps up his first Paralympics with three medals,
veteran Chris Williamson, from Toronto, skied in his final Paralympic race on
Saturday. Williamson, who won bronze in the mens slalom on Thursday, said he
feels like he is passing the torch to Marcoux. "I have a huge mix of emotions
here at my last Paralympics, but Im so pleased to have a medal and its pretty
clear that visually impaired skiing in Canada is in good hands with Mac!" said
Williamson, who finished fifth (2:37.57). Jakub Krako of Slovakia (2:31.66) won
the silver medal in the mens visually impaired category, and Russias Valerii
Redkozubov earned bronze (2:33.57). Canadas mens sit-skiers didnt fare well in
the giant slalom, with Josh Dueck, of Kimberley, B.C., Caleb Brousseau, from
Terrace, B.C., and Calgarys Kurt Oatway all not finishing their first runs.
Standing skier Kirk Schornstein, of Spruce Grove, Alta. finished 13th (2:40.97).
Also at the Paralympics, Canadas national sledge hockey team won bronze,
defeating Norway 3-0 in Saturdays bronze medal game at Shayba Arena. The medal
is Canadas fourth all-time at the Paralympics; it won gold in 2006 in Torino,
Italy, silver in 1998 in Nagano, Japan, and bronze in 1994 in Lillehammer,
Norway, in addition to this years third-place finish. Billy Bridges of
Summerside, P.E.I., scored twice to lead the Canadian offence, while Brad Bowden
of Orton, Ont., added the other goal as Canada found the back of the net three
times in 6:12 early in the second period to break open a scoreless game. Bowden
finished with a goal and two assists, and Corbin Watson of Kingsville, Ont.,
made 10 saves for his third shutout in four games. Canada defeated China 5-4 in
the semifinals and then went on to defeat Russia 8-3 in the final match to win
the gold medal. In the 4x2.5-kilometre mixed para-Nordic skiing relay, Quebec
Citys Sebastien Fortier, Robbi Weldon of Thunder Bay, Ont., and Ottawas
Margarita Gorbounova did not finish. In the 4x2.5-kilometre open relay, Chris
Klebl of Canmore, Alta., along with Brian McKeever, also from Canmore, and his
guides of Erik Carleton, from Canmore, and Whitehorses Graham Nishikawa placed
fourth in the open 4x2.5-kilometre relay with a time of 25:51.9. McKeever and
company will look to win their third gold medal of the week on Sunday when they
hit the start line for the final Nordic race of the 2014 Games.

. Jason Zucker and Matt Cooke also scored for Minnesota,
which has won five of six. Kuemper made five saves in the first, nine in the
second, and nine in the third. The rookies best save came with 2:17 left in the
third period when he denied former Wild forward Matt Cullen from just outside of
the crease on the right side.

OKLAHOMA CITY -- The drama was sapped early from Oklahoma Citys blowout win over
Utah, except for one detail. Thunder forward Kevin Durant is nearing
Michael Jordans mark for consecutive games with at least 25 points. With the
crowd buzzing late in the third quarter, Durant reached the mark for the 38th
consecutive time, leaving him two games short of Jordans accomplishment, which
is the most in the past 50 years. He finished with 31 points and nine assists to
help Oklahoma City defeat the Jazz 116-96 on Sunday afternoon. Jordan did it for
40 straight games for the Chicago Bulls during the 1986-87 season. Durant is
aware of the mark, but the NBAs leading scorer left worrying about it to the
crowd at Chesapeake Energy Arena. "Im just going out there, playing my game," he
said. "If it happens, cool. If it doesnt, cool. Thats how I approach it -- just
playing within the offence. If a shots there, shoot it. If a pass is there, pass
it. I try to play as simple as I can. If that (25 points or more) comes with it,
then so be it, but if not, Im not going to lose any sleep." Durant was fouled on
a 3-pointer with 4:02 left in the third quarter and was awarded three free
throws. He scored his 24th point on the first one, and the crowd got into it
before the second one. After he made it, the fans let out a loud cheer. He also
made the third to give the Thunder an 84-56 lead. Durant extended the streak
without playing in the fourth quarter for the second consecutive game.
Russell Westbrook scored 19 points, Serge Ibaka had 17 points and Caron Butler
added 15 for the Thunder, who have won six of seven. Oklahoma City shot 55 per
cent from the field and made 11 of 18 3-pointers and 23 of 26 free throws.
Enes Kanter had 18 points and 12 rebounds, Richard Jefferson scored 17 points
and Gordon Hayward added 16 points and nine rebounds for the Jazz, who have lost
four in a row. Utah trailed 11-0 before Jefferson finally scored with 7:34 left
in the first quarter. Oklahoma City led 26-9 at the end of the quarter. It
matched the fewest points the Thunder have allowed in any quarter this season
and was the lowest for the Jazz in a first quarter this season. Utah missed the
NBA low for an opening quarter this season by making a basket with 19.5 seconds
left. "They were aggressive on the defensive end and we settleed for a lot of
jump shots," Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin said.

. "We missed jump shots and they were able to run the ball out on
us. In that first quarter, I thought we were hungry for it, but thats what good
teams do. They come out and try to bury you right from the beginning. They had a
lot of success doing it in the first quarter." Haywards first basket came with
3:21 left in the first half. Even with his 3-point play, the Jazz still trailed
49-30. Oklahoma City led 59-40 at halftime, and it might have been a larger lead
if Jefferson hadnt dropped in 15 points in the first half, well above his season
average of 10.2 points per game. Durant scored 18 points in the first half on
6-for-8 shooting and helped the Thunder shoot 57 per cent before the break. Utah
cut Oklahoma Citys lead to 89-77 late in the quarter before Durant hit a
3-pointer over Hayward with two seconds remaining to push the lead back up to 15
points. "That was tough," Utah forward Marvin Williams said. "That was a big
three. It almost took the wind out of your sails, to fight so hard to get back
to that position, to cut it to 12, thinking youre going to start the fourth at
12 (down), and he makes an amazing shot like that over a defender. It was a big
shot. It kind of took the wind out of our sails, almost, a little bit, because
we had fought so hard." Hayward scored 13 points in the period, and the Jazz
scored 37 points on 60 per cent shooting. Utah scored 21 points in the final
3:44 of the third. The Thunder held on, and now, Oklahoma City can look ahead to
Thursdays showdown with West leader San Antonio. The Spurs have won 17 in a row
and are three games ahead of the Thunder for the best record in the West with
nine games to go. "Just continue to play our brand of basketball," Butler said.
"Play with a lot of energy and effort and do a good job defensively and stay on
the same accord, and we will be fine." NOTES: Thunder G Reggie Jackson missed
his second straight game with a mid-back sprain. ... Jazz G Alec Burks returned
to action after missing the previous four games with a left ankle sprain. ...
Utah missed its first seven shots. ... Oklahoma City won three of four against
the Jazz this season. ... Utah, which has the worst record in the Western
Conference, won the previous meeting 112-101.
