    Skiing together since childhood, brothers Brian and Robin McKeever achieved a hard-won synchronicity—Brian as a visually impaired Nordic skier and Robin as his sighted guide—which brought them triple gold medals at the Vancouver 2010 Paralympic Winter Games. Together, they pushed the boundaries of both the Paralympic and Olympic games and altered the lines which had segregated able-bodied and disabled athletes.
