The Winter Olympics may be over but there’s still plenty of sport to sink your teeth into from Beijing – the Winter Paralympics.
The global event kicks off with the Opening Ceremony on Friday 4 March and will continue until Sunday 13 March.
The ten-day event will see Paralympians compete in various events across six different sports: alpine skiing, biathlon, cross-country skiing, sled hockey, snowboarding and wheelchair curling.
Paralympics GB have sent 25 athletes to Beijing, eager to follow on from Britain’s most successful Games in history at Pyeongchang four years ago, where they brought home seven medals.
