Sault Ste. Marie’s Mac Marcoux has won a silver medal at the Paralympic Winter Games in Beijing.
Marcoux, competing in the men’s visually impaired downhill event with guide Tristan Rodgers, was first out of the gate in the event and posted a time of 1:13.81 seconds in his return to action.
Austria’s Johannes Aigner won gold with a time of 1:13.45 and Hyacinthe Deleplace of France won bronze with a time of 1:14.19.
The event was the first for the Sault native since returning from a back injury that caused him to miss the world championship in January.
Having competed in three Paralympic Winter Games, Marcoux now has six medals and is set to compete in two more events.
Among the medals for Marcoux in Paralympic events, the 24-year-old won a gold and two bronze medals in 2014 in Sochi, Russia before winning a gold and bronze at the 2018 event in PyeongChang, South Korea.
