In the women's LL2 event, there was an emotional gold medal for French snowboarder Cecile Hernandez and a bronze for American Brenna Huckaby after both had initially feared they would miss the Games.

The pair won a legal battle in a German court after they were initially blocked because they were too disabled.

They wanted to compete against women with a lower level of impairment or in the men's event because their class was removed by the International Paralympic Committee.

The pair were allowed to compete in China after the ruling in Germany that initially rejected their claim was overturned.

More magic from McKeever

Canada's Brian McKeever won his 14th Winter Paralympics gold medal, and his 18th overall, after victory in the men's long-distance cross-country visually impaired event.

The man who has said that Beijing will be his last Games finished more than three minutes clear of his rivals.

He was the first Canadian to be named to both the Olympic and Paralympic teams, but he was not selected for the 50 km event.

He and guide Russell Kennedy were the first to reach the opening checkpoint and built up their advantage, with American Jake Adicoff back in second.

The sprint event is on Wednesday and the middle distance is on Saturday.

After taking biathlon visually impaired sprint gold on Saturday, Oksana Shyshkova won the women's long-distance cross-country visually impaired event.
