And it’s not even because the Russians aren’t there, they are beating the dominant athletes in their events like Oksana Masters and Marie Bochet. 
 

China’s Paralympic programme continues to impress even in sports they have very little pedigree in.

Daily training on site unlike others who have never been there before is a strong advantage, but anyway, it is clear they have put a lot of effort and resources to succeed at these games, just hope it will not be a one event episode like I was worrying about their men ice hockey "project"

China win a lot at the Summer Games so you would expect they would want to continue winning a lot in 2026 and onwards.

Although training on sites daily makes some difference, it's not like it puts you literal minutes ahead in a sport like cross-country skiing :p 

 

I do wonder where they opened this can of disabled athletes from all of a sudden :d 

 

Spoiler

It might also be a bit of a painful showing of the overall strength of the Paralympics, if a country can go from being nearly invisible to being the super power in not even four years...

4th place after Day 2 but still a bit sour feeling of missed chances of at least 2 other safe medals today (2x DNF while being in 1st place after last intermediate) and another 2 possible yesterday (2x 4th places and 1x 5th place yesterday) ...

Crazy to see skiers shedding layers or going without sleeves today after Olympians couldn’t have enough layers just two/three weeks ago.

Happy to see the snowboard cross events finally contested in the heats format (was a time trial in 2014, and head-to-head in 2018). It will be interesting to compare the racing across the three editions.
 

A mix of rather uncompetitive opening heats and a couple of close finishes so far.

She had to go to court for the right to compete (as her classification was cut and IPC original ruled she couldn’t compete in SB-LL2 against less impaired athletes), but now Cecile Hernandez :FRA has a gold medal.

    • Another good performance by the Italian team. It's a shame about Carrara's last 3 misses. Unfortunately, due to injuries and illnesses of our 2 best girls: Vittozzi and Wierer, we can't count on more at these World Championships. I hope that this season's bad luck will run out and everything will be fine next season.

    • Referees and Linesmen assigned for CHL Final   Top game officials from the German DEL, the Finnish Liiga and the ICE Hockey League will take charge of this season's Champions Hockey League Final.   The head referees for the CHL Final, which will be played on 18 February in Zurich (SUI), will be André Schrader (GER) and Riku Brander (FIN) – two of the very best referees in the German DEL and the Finnish Liiga respectively with many officiated games on an international level under their belt.   Schrader has been a pro head referee in the German DEL since 2017 and has officiated in five playoff finals since then.   On an international level, he was selected for the 2014 and the 2022 Olympic Games as well as for games at the IIHF World Ice Hockey Championship, the IIHF World Junior Championship and the IIHF Ice Hockey U18 World Championship.   Furthermore, the German officiated the 2023 CHL Final as a head referee and the 2015 CHL Final as a linesman.   Brander has been a head referee in the Finnish Liiga since 2019 and turned into a pro in 2022.   He has officiated over 350 games including playoffs and the bronze medal game in 2024.   On an international level, Brander was selected for the IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship 2024 in Czechia, as well as for two Olympic Qualification Final Tournaments and multiple IIHF Ice Hockey U20 and U18 World Championships.   Running the lines at the CHL Final in Zurich will be Oto Durmis (SVK) and Simon Rieken (AUT), both working for the ICE Hockey League.
    • Best of the Best Ready to Battle in Zurich: CHL Final 2025 Preview   Switzerland's ZSC Lions Zurich will suit up against Sweden's Färjestad Karlstad as the two clubs battle it out on the Champions Hockey League's biggest stage for the European Trophy.   Zurich advanced after taking down fellow Swiss challenger Genève-Servette in the Semi-Finals with a 9-4 aggregate win while Färjestad overcame Czech side Sparta Prague with a 10-4 aggregate victory.   Färjestad have been excellent on the road Zurich continue to find ways to win Star players could be the deciding factor for both clubs   A commanding First Game performance against the reigning CHL Champions helped secure Zurich's trip to the Final as they engineered a five-goal aggregate advantage that saw several of their top players continue to be effective in all situations.   The Swiss netted six goals, including two on the powerplay, before Genève were able to light the lamp in the third period as Sven Andrighetto and company were able to slice through Genève's defence with ease.   The Return Game was a much tamer affair, with both clubs securing three goals.   But thanks to solid netminding from Robin Zumbühl who stopped 24 of 27 on the night, Zurich were able to close out the series and secure a much-deserved trip to the Final.   Looking ahead, the Swiss will have the home-ice advantage and while they've been better on the road, their numbers at the Swiss Life Arena have been strong.   Stats-wise, they're currently tied with the Swedes in most areas: goals for per game with 4.08 while their defence sits slightly behind Färjestad's with 2.00 goals against per game compared to their opponents' 1.83.          While neither club sports an advantage in any one category, Zurich's roster has some heavy hitters that could sway the game in their favour.   The aforementioned Andrighetto sits atop the league in points with eight goals and 12 assists for 20 points, while teammate Denis Malgin is in third place with six goals and 11 helpers for 17 points through ten games played.   Having the likes of the league's Top Scorers on your side will certainly be a comfort for a Swiss side that's about to face the league's best defence in Färjestad.   Much like the Swiss, Färjestad's First Game against Sparta gave them a multi-goal cushion that helped propel them past the Semi-Finals.   The Czechs kept it close through the first 20 minutes, but then in the middle frame, the Swedes extended their lead as Oskar Steen secured his club's second as Färjestad went on to net four more and to take it to 6-2.   Then on home ice, the home team picked up where they left off, netting their first of two powerplay goals as they smothered Sparta's offence all the while exposing the Czechs' defence for four more tallies en route to their tenth win of the season.   Who to look out for?   Sven Andrighetto, ZSC Lions Zurich   31-year-old Swiss international Sven Andrighetto and the CHL's Top Scorer heading into the Final has been a menace on Europe's biggest club ice hockey stage, racking up a whopping 20 points (8G, 12A) in 11 games played.   After almost bowing out to former CHL Champions Tappara Tampere in their Round of 16 series, Färjestad have now gone on to register multiple convincing wins starting with a 6-0 slashing of Red Bull Salzburg in the Quarter-Finals Return Game.   A big reason for this has been consistent play at both 5-on-5 as well as their lethal special teams play.   The Swedes showcased their third-ranked powerplay against Sparta to great success, securing a pair of powerplay tallies against the Czechs' fifth-ranked PK.   With so much talent up and down the roster for Färjestad, Zurich will need to be at the top of their game.
