Japanese sit skier Momoka Muraoka won her second medal in as many days at the Pyeongchang Winter Paralympics, taking bronze in the women's Alpine skiing super-G, while her male teammates fell short of the podium.

Akira Kano was aiming for a three-peat after winning the super-G at the 2010 Vancouver and 2014 Sochi Games, but he could only manage fifth as Canadian Kurt Oatway ran away with gold at Jeongseon Alpine Centre.

"There were two crucial points on the course and I messed up on one of them. Other than that I skied the way I wanted to," Kano said.

Taiki Morii, a five-time Paralympian who came away with silver in Saturday's downhill competition, finished in eighth and will look to Tuesday's super combined for his elusive first Paralympic victory.

Continuing to prove her status as one of the greats of the sport, Germany's Anna Schaffelhuber won her seventh gold medal, beating out Austrian Claudia Loesch and Muraoka in the super-G sitting category.

In the standing category, 21-year-old Anmi Hondo got a bittersweet Paralympic debut when she failed to finish after missing her third gate.

At Alpensia Biathlon Centre, all eyes were on North Korea's two sit skiers, Ma Yu Chol and Kim Jong Hyon, who competed in the men's 15-kilometer cross country skiing.

But the country's first athletes to compete at a Winter Paralympics only took up the sport in December and ended at the bottom of the 27 skiers that finished, more than 20 minutes behind race winner Maksym Yarovyi of Ukraine.

American Kendall Gretsch blew past the competition in the women's 12-km cross country, adding to her gold in Saturday's 6-km biathlon.

"I knew that since our last World Cup, I had improved a lot, but you never know until you race where you stand, so just happy with how things went today and I was able to put together another good race," she said.

In para ice hockey, the United States handed Japan a dizzying 10-0 defeat at Gangneung Hockey Centre, making nearly half of its 24 shots, including a hat trick by forward Brody Roybal.

"They're the No. 1-ranked team in the world, so we had realistic expectations going in. But we couldn't keep up with their pace and before we knew it, we were in the third period," Japan captain Satoru Sudo said.

With South Korea's 3-2 victory over the Czech Republic, Japan lost its chance to advance to the semifinals and will play the rest of its games for fifth place at best.
