A New Hartford man is in Russia, to compete in the World Wheelchair Curling Championships.
James Joseph, along with four others, make up Team USA. They are all members of the "Sitrin Stars," a one of a kind adaptive sports program in Central New York. And James, who's no stranger to the world stage, is excited about another opportunity to claim gold. He says all the hard work and practice should show on the ice.
Last year, Team USA finished fifth in the world championships. They have already qualified for the 2014 Paralympic Winter Games, also in Russia.
