This is reported on the website of the International Paralympic Committee.

According to the information of the ministry, about 30-35 Russians will undergo a rigorous selection to perform at the Games. So, on the form of the Paralympians there will be no Russian symbols, and in case of victory there will be a hymn of the IPC.

At the same time, the Russian Paralympic hockey team will not be able to participate in the 2018 Games at all, as the charter of the competition does not provide for the participation of a team of neutral athletes.

The national symbols of Russia will be banned near the objects of the Paralympic Games, and members of the Ministry of Sport and the Russian Paralympic Committee will not be allowed to attend the competitions.

By the way, the Paralympic Games will be held in South Korea's Pyeongchang from 9 to 18 March.

Recall, as previously reported, "URA-Inform," the Ukrainian Paralympic athletes on Sunday January 28, at the World Cup competitions in cross-country skiing and biathlon, won three more high awards.
