2018 Winter Paralympics

The 2018 Winter Paralympics were held between 9 and 18 March 2018 in Pyeongchang, South Korea. They are the 12th edition of the Games. The IOC chose South Korea as the host nation at the IOC Congress in Durban on 6 July 2011.
Participants.
Around 550 people from 42 countries are expected to participate in the 2018 Games. Four countries gone to their first Winter Paralympics. They are Pakistan, Georgia, North Korea and Tajikstan.
Just like at the Olympics which happened the month before, there are no athletes from Russia taking part in the Paralympics under their country's name because the IOC found out many of them had been doping. Those who were not caught could compete as an "Olympic Athlete from Russia".
Sports.
Six sports were at the 2018 Winter Paralympics. Between them, they will award 80 medals. Unlike the 2014 Winter Paralympics, para-snowboarding is not included with para-alpine skiing at the 2018 Games. The sport is giving 10 medals in 2018. In 2014, it only gave 2. These medals will be fought for by around 670 people, 24% more than competed at the Sochi Games.
In mid-2015, the International Paralympic Committee made the last list for medal events at the 2018 Winter Paralympics.
