The day has come in Cortina where history is being written at the Winter Paralympic Games, as medals are being awarded for the first time in the mixed doubles category of wheelchair curling. Latvia's competitors, Poļina Rožkova and Agris Lasmans, have advanced to the bronze medal match, where they face a final hurdle in the form of a U.S. duo. This groundbreaking event represents a significant milestone for the Paralympics, showcasing the growing inclusivity and diversity of the competitions.As a point of interest, Rožkova and Lasmans commenced their journey in the Milan-Cortina Games against the American team of Laura Dwyer and Stefan Emt, where they experienced an initial setback with a score of 6-11. The Latvian team admitted to feeling some pre-competition nerves, which impacted their performance at the outset. However, since that match, Rožkova and Lasmans have regained their composure and developed a winning strategy, achieving four consecutive victories and now look forward to avenging their earlier loss against the Americans. This potential victory could not only bring home a bronze medal for Latvia but also serve as an inspirational story for other athletes aspiring to achieve their dreams in the Paralympic arena.
