The 2026 Winter Paralympics began March 6 with 28 nations boycotting the opening ceremony parade at the Arena di Verona. Nine days later, they end with the USA and Canada playing for hockey gold in Milan at 11 AM ET.

Between those two moments, Declan Farmer rewrote every scoring record in the sport. Oksana Masters added three golds to a career Paralympic medal total that now sits at 22. Italy had its best Winter Paralympics in history. Kazakhstan won its first-ever Paralympic gold. Athletes who had never stood on a Winter Games podium did it here. This is what's left.

Men's Alpine Slalom Ran This Morning

The final para alpine events ran at the Tofane Alpine Skiing Centre in Cortina d'Ampezzo before 8 AM Eastern. Austria's Johannes Aigner won gold in the vision impaired slalom, his fifth gold of the Games across downhill, super-G, giant slalom, and now slalom. Switzerland's Robin Cuche, who already won the super-G, added the standing slalom title. Norway's Jesper Pedersen won the sitting slalom, and Canada's Kurt Oatway took sitting bronze.

Para alpine skiing is finished for these Games. Thirty medal events. Nine days at Cortina.

Masters in the 20km at Tesero

Oksana Masters races the women's 20km cross-country sitting event at Tesero this morning. She won three golds at these Games: biathlon sitting sprint, cross-country sitting sprint, and 10km sitting. The 20km is the longest race on the cross-country schedule, at altitude, and she goes in as the favorite. Four golds at a single Winter Paralympics would put her in rare company for any sport.

Sydney Peterson, who won the 10km standing, races the 20km standing event. Jake Adicoff, gold medalist in the men's cross-country sitting sprint on Day 4, competes in the men's 20km vision impaired. Results post at Paralympic.org as they come in.

USA vs Canada for Hockey Gold, 11 AM ET

The USA para ice hockey team plays Canada in the gold medal game at 11 AM ET on NBC and Peacock. It is the third consecutive Paralympic final between these two programs. This year, these same two countries have already played for the top prize in hockey twice: USA beat Canada for Olympic men's gold in February, and USA beat Canada for Olympic women's gold in February. Now the para team is playing in the same city, in the same month, for the same trophy.

No country has ever swept the men's Olympic, women's Olympic, and Paralympic hockey tournaments in a single year.

USA went unbeaten in these Games, outscoring opponents 40-3 across four games. Declan Farmer scored 14 goals and recorded 24 points in this tournament alone, both single-Games Paralympic records. He scored four hat tricks in four preliminary games. His Day 7 semifinal performance put the exclamation point on a tournament that passed every record left to break. Canada reached the final unbeaten, scoring 30 goals and allowing three. The bronze medal game between China and Czechia runs earlier at the same arena.

Team USA has never lost a Paralympic hockey final. Canada last won gold in Turin 2006, which was also held in Italy.

Watch: NBC and Peacock, 11 AM ET.

Closing Ceremony, 3:30 PM ET

The Closing Ceremony begins at 3:30 PM ET at the Cortina Curling Olympic Stadium, the venue that hosted wheelchair curling this week and also served as the site of the 1956 Olympic Winter Games Opening Ceremony. The theme is "Italian Souvenir," with performances by Italian acts Planet Funk and Arisa. The Paralympic cauldrons in Milan and Cortina are extinguished, the Agitos flag is lowered, and the baton passes to the French Alps, host of the 2030 Games running March 1-10.

Airs on CNBC, streams on Peacock. For all broadcast times and streaming options, the 2026 Paralympics how-to-watch guide has everything in one place.

Canada is in Milan for the third time this calendar year, chasing gold in hockey, and has come away empty twice. Team USA arrived in February for two Olympic tournaments and left with both. NBC and Peacock, 11 AM ET.
