Stephen Emt (born January 6, 1970) is an American wheelchair curler.[2]

Early life

[edit]

Emt was born in Manchester, Connecticut and grew up in Hebron. He played basketball at West Point for two years, but dropped out after his father died of a heart attack. He enrolled at the University of Connecticut and walked on onto its basketball team, being a part of the 1994 team when they won the Big East regular season. In 1995, Emt was involved in a crash while drunk driving, resulting in him becoming paralyzed from the waist down.[3]

Career

[edit]

Emt first took up curling in 2013 after being approached by a Paralympic recruiter on Cape Cod.[3]

He represented the United States at the 2018 Winter Paralympics and 2022 Winter Paralympics, finishing in twelfth and fifth places respectively. At the 2026 Winter Paralympics in Milano Cortina, Emt competed in the inaugural mixed doubles wheelchair curling event alongside Laura Dwyer, where the pair reached the semifinals and ultimately finished in fourth place.
