Sudbury's Collin Cameron was a triple medallist at the 2018 Paralympic Games in PyeongChang.

The 29-year-old had a games to remember, hitting the podium three times over the course of a week, winning bronze in three different events.

Cameron kicked off his first-ever Paralympic Games with a bronze medal in the 7.5-km biathlon. He would duplicate his third place finish in the 15-km biathlon just a few days later. 

On the final day of the Games on March 18, Cameron wrapped up his impressive performance, as Team Canada finished with bronze in the 4x2.5-km cross country ski open relay event.

Coming on the heels of the country's best performance at a Winter Olympics, where Canada finished third in total medals with 29 and second in gold medals with 11, Canadian Paralympic athletes finished second in total medals with 28, trailing only the United States (36).

Canada took gold eight times at the Paralympic Games, while winning silver four times, and hauling in 16 bronze medals.
