Medal Quest

MEDAL QUEST shares the stories of Paralympic athletes and follows them to the Paralympic Games. Competing individually and in teams, in sports that range from biathlon and sled hockey in the Winter Games, to judo and wheelchair rugby in Summer, these American athletes personify the grit, the strategy, and the skill it takes to go for the gold.

For more than 5 months, ICE WARRIORS followed the U.S. sled hockey team on their road to the 2014 Paralympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia. These remarkable competitors—experienced athletes and rookie players, high school students and military veterans wounded in action—shared one goal: to make history with a repeat gold medal win.
