All of them will act under the neutral flag, because the disqualification of the Paralympic Committee of Russia (PCR) because of the doping scandal in Sochi was extended.

The IPC announced a list of sportsmen in five sports, among them:

Alpine skiers Alexander Frantsev, Anastasia Khorosheva, Maria Papulova, Sergey Alexandrov, Alexander Alyabyev, Alexei Bugaev, Ivan Franzev, Alexei Mikushin, Valery Redkozubov and Alexander Vetrov, skiers Akzhana Abdikarimova, Natalia Bratyuk, Nadezhda Fedorova, Marina Galitsyna, Irina Gulyaeva, Maria Iovleva, Natalia Kocherova, Julia Mikheeva, Anna Milenina, Ekaterina Moshkovskaya, Ekaterina Rumyantseva and Marta Zainullina, snowboarders Vladimir Igushkin, Mikhail Slinkin and Alexander Tsygankov, as well as a team of curling on wheelchairs, which included Konstantin Kurokhtin, Marat Romanov, Darya Shchukin, Alexander Shevchenko and Andrei Meshcheryakov.

The press service of the Russian Paralympic Committee noted that the final list of Russian Paralympic athletes will be known before March 1.
