I think they took their hockey team and made it Paralympic, if you catch my drift “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

uk12points 434 Posted November 9, 2018 Author #120 Share Posted November 9, 2018 You can understand why China have picked ice sledge hockey as a sport to focus on when looking at the rapid development of Russia and South Korea over the past 8 years, both winning medals at their home games despite very little previous success at the Paralympics. I would expect China to develop some promising talents in para nordic skiing too, where certain events have a pretty poor standard and China should be able to win multiple medals in Beijing.
