A sit-skier from Palmer, Kurka won gold in the downhill and silver in the super-G at the 2018 Paralympics. He’s a three-time member of the U.S. Paralympic team, and in 2022 he placed fourth in the downhill despite breaking his arm and thumb in a training run. Before suffering a spinal cord injury in an ATV accident at age 13, Kurka was a champion youth wrestler.
