Can\u2019t Wait\u2014We\u2019re Almost There! The PyeongChang 2018 Paralympic Games Are Coming!<\/strong><\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t wait\u2014it\u2019s almost time! From March 9 to 18, the PyeongChang 2018 Paralympic Games will be held!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Adaptive sports for people with disabilities have existed for quite some time. However, they gained greater visibility after World War II, as efforts were made to include injured veterans and civilians in sports. The first Summer Paralympic Games were held in 1960, followed by the first Winter Games in 1976. Since 1988 (Summer) and 1992 (Winter), the Paralympic Games have taken place in the same host cities and venues as the Olympic Games.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

A new addition to the Paralympics, snowboarding made its debut in Sochi in 2014. Athletes have upper or lower limb impairments; visually impaired athletes are not yet included. Events are Snowboard Cross (SBX)<\/strong> and Banked Slalom (BSL)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Canada didn\u2019t win any medals in Sochi, but the team has shown strong promise. Canada recently placed third at the Para Snowboard Nations Cup. The team has 5 members, including Michelle Salt<\/strong>, the only woman. She placed third overall in Banked Slalom rankings and earned 4 silver and 3 bronze medals in the 2015\u20132016 World Cup. After losing a leg in a motorcycle accident, many told her she\u2019d never snowboard again. She proved them wrong. I\u2019m excited to watch her in action.<\/p>\n

While the number of Paralympic sports has grown, one event has disappeared: ice sledge racing<\/strong>. It was part of the Games from 1980 to 1988 and from 1994 to 1998. Competitors raced on a 400-meter oval in events ranging from 100 m to 15,000 m, using sledges slightly different from those in hockey. The sport is no longer included, and little information is available today.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
