Sean O'Neill of Sandwich, Massachusetts, is competing in his Paralympic debut as part of the U.S. mixed doubles curling team at the Winter Games in Italy. The squad, which includes three Paralympic newcomers, stands at 2-2 in round-robin play.
The Paralympic Winter Games are underway in Italy, showcasing adaptive sports athletes worldwide. Sean O'Neill, selected earlier this year for Team USA's mixed doubles curling squad after rapid progress at the Cape Cod Curling Club, is now tossing stones in competition.
This marks O'Neill—the fourth Paralympian from the Falmouth club—as one of three debuting athletes on the five-member team. In round-robin mixed doubles, Team USA has secured two wins and two losses, with O'Neill contributing to the strategic, precision sport adapted for para-athletes.
Previously profiled for his inspiring journey from a college car accident to international para-curling, O'Neill's performance adds to the excitement of Cape Cod's growing legacy in adaptive sports.
