At Milan, Friday's semi-finals had confirmed the outcome many had anticipated since the start of the para ice hockey tournament: USA vs. Canada for gold.
Team USA made another emphatic statement by beating Czechia 6-1, while Canada worked harder to overcome China and win 4-2.
But Swedish pain was then eased later that evening in the bronze final, where they faced Korea.
Successive missed take-outs by Yang Hui-tae at the bottom of the sixth end had allowed Sweden to steal two and extend their lead to 5-2, and they finished the match 7-4 to bag bronze.
At Cortina, the contenders for gold were confirmed with the mixed team wheelchair curling semi-finals.
Canada produced a remarkable final-end fightback from 7-5 down to defeat the Koreans at 8-7 through a steal for three, while China edged past Sweden 7-6 in the other semi game.
France's Arthur Bauchet rounded off the day with another display of resilience by winning the standing category.
The five-time Paralympic champ topped both runs despite competing with a torn ligament in his wrist, finishing ahead of Swiss Robin Cuche and Russian Aleksei Bugaev.
In the vision impaired category, Austria's Johannes Aigner and guide Nico Haberl once again underlined their dominance at these Games by winning their third gold, overturning the deficit in the second run to beat Italy's Giacomo Bertagnolli with his winning total time of 2:07.83.
At Tofane, Italian home favourite Rene De Silvestro wouldn't let his chance slip away just as last time in the downhill by just 0.11 sec, and he struck men's giant slalom gold for the sitting class, clocking a total time of 2:10.44 to narrowly edge out Dutchman Niels de Langen.
Redeeming from a serious injury he suffered four years ago in 2022, American Noah Elliott reclaims back his crown in the men's SB-LL1 banked slalom, and the 28-year-old from Missouri - a PyeongChang 2018 champion - sealed home the gold with his time of 58.94.
Kate Delson, a debutant aged 20, was crowned women's banked slalom champ after a superb second run that enabled her to beat Dutch veteran Lisa Bunschoten.
She finished at 1:02.99 to win her first Paralympic gold, only a few days after taking silver in the snowboard cross.
Italian celebrations bubbled on in the para snowboard banked slalom competitions.
The hosts took home two golds on Friday, courtesy of Jacopo Luchini in the men's SB-UL class, and Emanuel Perathoner in the SB-LL2 category - thus adding another one to his snowboard cross title.
Austrian-born Carina Edlingerova notches her first career Paralympic gold medal since switching allegiances from Austria to Czechia, and she gave the nation its first para biathlon gold upon winning the women's VI sprint pursuit at 13:38.1.
Canada's Natalie Wilkie once again showed her consistency by taking gold in the women's sprint pursuit for the standing class, claiming her fourth individual medal of the Para Games after finishing at 12:18.0 ahead of Ukrainians Iryna Bui and Oleksandra Kononova.
The men's sprint pursuit, on the other hand, was won by Kazakhstan's Yerbol Khamitov, creating some history with his country's first-ever Paralympic biathlon gold after he crossed the finish at 9:39.0.
Kendall Gretsch completes her podium collection with gold in the women's sitting sprint pursuit race, clocking a time of 11:33.1 for the 33-year-old American to get the better of South Korea's Kim Yun-ji and Anja Wicker of Germany in the closing stages.
China confirmed their spot at the top of the Para biathlon medal table, taking another four medals, including two golds.
Cai Jiayun secured his golden hat-trick at Tesero after winning the men's standing sprint pursuit, while Yu Shuang triumphed in the vision impaired category.
Ukraine had a spectacular day in para biathlon, taking six medals - but no golds - in the Paralympic premiere for the sprint pursuit events to seal second place in the sportโs medal table.
Ukrainian silver medalist Taras Rad recovered from missing a shot during his first bout.
A day packed with emotion in Tesero and Cortina brought para biathlon to a close with memorable performances, crowned new stars in snowboard, and produced local heroes in para alpine skiing.
We look back at Day 7 of the Winter Paralympics.
