Six cross-country sprint medals were decided at Tesero on Tuesday, Team USA won three of them, and one athlete from Belarus won a gold his country had never won at any Winter Paralympics.

Oksana Masters took the women's sitting sprint for her 21st Paralympic medal. Jake Adicoff won the men's visually impaired sprint alongside guide Peter Wolter, the first individual gold in 12 years of Paralympic competition. Sydney Peterson finished second in the women's standing event. Six alpine combined events ran at the Tofane slopes in Cortina. Italy's Para ice hockey team beat Germany for the first time in their national history.

Cross-Country Sprints at Tesero

Masters won the women's sitting final with a 3-second lead over South Korea's Yunji Kim, who was second, and China's Shiyu Wang, who was third. It is her fourth Para cross-country gold at four consecutive Games, and it comes on the same course where she won a biathlon bronze earlier in the week.

Adicoff's gold in the men's VI sprint came with a story he had been telling since before Milan. Four Games, three silvers, one relay gold, and no individual gold. He said he came to Milan specifically to fix that. He and Wolter won in Tesero ahead of China's Shuang Yu and Sweden's Zebastian Modin. The full account is in Tuesday's midday report.

Peterson's silver in the women's standing sprint came behind Norway's Vilde Nilsen, who crossed in 3:31.3 for gold. Canada's Natalie Wilkie was third and now holds a medal of each color at Milano Cortina 2026.

In the men's standing sprint, Belarus' Raman Svirydzenka ran 2:35.4 for gold. Germany's Sebastian Marburger was second and France's Benjamin Daviet third. Belarus competes at these Games without a flag or anthem under the Neutral Paralympic Athletes designation, but the result stands in the record as the first Winter Paralympic gold in Belarusian history.

China's Liu Zixu won the men's sitting sprint. Brazil's Cristian Westemaier Ribera finished 0.7 seconds behind for silver, the first medal Brazil has won at a Paralympic Winter Games.

Alpine Combined at Cortina

Six combined events ran back to back at the Tofane Alpine Skiing Centre, each combining a super-G and slalom run into a single result.

Italy's Giacomo Bertagnolli won the men's visually impaired combined with guide Andrea Ravelli. It is his 11th Paralympic medal. Federico Pelizzari added silver in the men's standing, putting two Italians on the same medal table in the same morning.

Austria's Veronika Aigner won the women's VI combined ahead of Italy's Chiara Mazzel, reversing the positions from Monday's super-G. Spain's Audrey Pascual Seco took the women's sitting combined for her second gold at Tofane in three days. Sweden's Ebba Arsjö won the women's standing combined. The para alpine program continues with giant slalom and slalom remaining for all classes.

Para Ice Hockey: Italy's First Win

At the Milano Santagiulia Ice Hockey Arena, Italy beat Germany 2-1. It was Italy's first victory in Paralympic Para ice hockey competition. The U.S. team, which opened these Games with a 14-1 win over Italy on Day 1, continues through the bracket.
