How to Get the Most out of the PyeongChang 2018 Paralympic Winter Games!

You are far too cool to stay indoors cowering in front of the fireplace especially
during global festivities. Get the toasty feeling by eating warm food. Everything has
been prepared just for you.
Take your pick from an endless array of famous restaurants in Gangwon. The Food
Court is also a great place to start.
Despite the cool weather, our passion is burning.
Bundle up and brace yourself with warm layers of winter clothing and accessories!
Do not forget to keep yourself warm with a woolly hat, a scarf and a pair of gloves, and
to bring a hot pad especially if you are heading for the opening or closing ceremony or
the winter sports events.
Make sure that you know where the medical service centre and resting area for
spectators are located. How about visiting the Superstore?
The Other Meaning of the Paralympic Games : Passion. Connected.
No matter what the obstacles may be, we stride forth with Passion to overcome
our limits. Take to your hearts the message of everyone, Connected, without any
regard for their disabilities!

All our esteemed visitors!
As the representative of the 1.5 million people of Gangwon Province, I extend my warmest
welcome to the visitors of the PyeongChang 2018 Paralympic Winter Games. Last month, we
celebrated an exceedingly successful Olympic Winter Games, brought together by the passion
of the athletes, the attention of our visitors and the smiles of our volunteers. Once again, I offer
my thanks to our visitors for their help in realizing this memorable event. The Olympic Winter
Games PyeongChang 2018 will also be remembered as a true example of ‘Peace Olympics,’
bringing together North Korea and South Korea into the start of a reconciliation.
For the last 20 years, we at Gangwon Province focused our efforts on creating the basis
for this year. We have endeavoured to create optimal venues, access roads and a welcoming
and comfortable environment for all spectators to enjoy the Paralympic Winter Games and the
cultural heritage of Gangwon. We invite you to join us as we welcome the delegations, visitors
and guests of our province with the warm hospitality and goodwill of Gangwon.
Being held in the divided Gangwon Province located in the only divided country in the world,
The PyeongChang 2018 Winter Games has since become something greater than itself, a bold
statement towards ‘Peace Olympics.’ As we go into the Paralympic Winter Games, we will focus
our efforts to ensuring that all of our guests can enjoy the festival regardless of their disabilities,
race, age and other barriers under the belief that “the success of the Paralympic Games is the
true signifier of a successful PyeongChang 2018 Winter Games .” Furthermore, we will strive to
create an environment of exchange and sharing for the entire world to take part in.
It has now been 30 years since the previous Paralympic Games held in Korea, which is in
Seoul 1988. We ask you to join us as we stand by and encourage the passionate drama of the
athletes as their potentials blossom at the critical mass of human limitations. We ask you to
take triumphant and celebratory moments to your heart, and to visit our beautiful land once
again. We will welcome you like family. We hope that you can create happy, beautiful memories
during your stay in PyeongChang, a land of peace and where the world has gathered. We hope
you can join us as we take the final step towards the end of a long, long journey that has led us
to this day.
You, who stand with us here, are the true protagonists of the Paralympic Games.
Governor of
Gangwon
CHOI Mun-sun
We offer our heartfelt welcome to
the visitors of the PyeongChang 2018
Paralympic Winter Games.
The PyeongChang 2018 Paralympic Winter Games will be the largest
Paralympic Games to date, featuring more than 1,500 athletes from 50
nations who will be competing in 80 events and 6 sports.
While all sports have their triumphant moments, it can perhaps be
said that the spirit and passion shown by athletes with disabilities while
overcoming themselves are particularly special. I will join the visitors and
spectators from all around the world in rooting for those triumphant
moments for which the athletes of the Paralympic Games have worked
so tirelessly for.
Thirty years ago, Seoul became the first city in the world to host both
the Paralympic Games and the Olympic Games at the same time. The
Seoul 1988 Paralympic Summer Games eventually left its mark in Korean
history as a catalyst for a general shift in the social perception of our
neighbours with disabilities.
Now, in PyeongChang 2018, we once again stand before a miraculous
event that will bring together and connect people worldwide in unified
passion (Passion. Connected.). I am confident that this occasion, just like
its predecessor in 1988, will also serve as a valuable opportunity to bring
Korea one step closer to the ideal of a true state of care.
Now, the grand festival of harmony and togetherness begins. Once
again, I invite you to join us as we celebrate the burning passion of
PyeongChang and to take these memories to heart.
Thank you!

of the PyeongChang
Organizing
Committee for the
2018 Olympic and

Overview
We hope you enjoy every moment
of your stay in the Republic of
Korea.
As the representative of the International Paralympic Committee
(IPC), I welcome you to the PyeongChang 2018 Paralympic Winter
Games.
The previous Paralympic Games in Korea was held in Seoul in
1988. The Seoul 1988 Paralympic Summer Games marked a historical
occasion when the Olympic Games and the Paralympic Games were
held at the same time, and esteem since the Tokyo 1964 Olympic and
Paralympic Summer Games.
As the size of the Paralympic Games grew, it has assumed a
primary importance across the world as the representative project
for social integration.
Likewise, I hope that the first Paralympic Winter Games to be held
in the Republic of Korea will serve as a ‘new historic horizon’ for its
participants.
Hundreds of Paralympic athletes will participate in six awe-
inspiring Paralympic sports. Their performances will surely uplift your
spirits and inspire you.
I am confident that your passions, connected, will help create a
memorable Paralympic Winter Games this 2018.
President of IPC

About the Symbols
Emblem
The emblem of the PyeongChang 2018
Paralympic Winter Games is linked with that
of the Olympic Winter Games PyeongChang
2018, and depicts the imagery of a peaceful and
hopeful world overcoming all barriers of race,
region and disabilities. The emblem portrays two
people holding hands together, symbolizing a
world where people with and without disabilities,
athletes and spectators and the people of the
world come together.
Slogan
‘Passion’ means the feeling of enthusiasm
towards, attachment to and love for something.
‘Connected’ expresses being linked, combined,
bridged and communicated. Combined, ‘Passion.
Connected.’ expresses PyeongChang’s vision
to ‘connect’ the hearts of people worldwide
through a unified ‘passion’ in the Paralympic
Winter Games, expanding participation across
all age groups and spaces, and opening new
horizons for winter sports.
Mascot
Bandabi, the mascot of the PyeongChang 2018
Paralympic Winter Games, takes after the Black Bear.
Black bears, or moon bears, are animals with a strong
will and courage. ‘Banda’ comes from the Korean word
‘bandal,’ which means half-moon, while ‘bi’ refers to the
commemoration of the Paralympic Winter Games.
Bandabi is a strong-willed and courageous individual who
fights for the cause of harmony and equality, and a kind-
hearted friend to the athletes of the Paralympic Winter
Games, offering heartfelt encouragements to the
athletes to help them transcend their limits. Look forward
to Bandabi’s presence in the Paralympic Winter Games!

History of the
Paralympic Games
Official Spectator Guide | 2322 | PyeongChang 2018 Paralympic Winter Games
History of the Paralympic Games
The word ‘Paralympic’ is a compound word of ‘Paraplegia’ and ‘Olympic,’ reflecting its
beginnings as games between individuals suffering from paraplegia. As the category of
participants (individuals with a visual impairment, cerebral palsy, loss of limbs and others)
expanded, however, the IPC has redefined the word ‘Paralympic’ with the Greek prefix ‘para,’
giving it a new meaning of a festival conducted alongside the Olympic Games.
Etymology
Korea’s first entry into the Paralympic Winter
Games came in the form of two athletes taking part
in the Albertville 1992 Paralympic Winter Games. The
first medal for Korea was won by HAN Sang-min in
the Salt Lake City 2008 Paralympic Winter Games
under the para alpine skiing discipline (silver; LW12-1).
In Vancouver 2010, 49 athletes from Korea took
part in all five disciplines and won a silver medal in
wheelchair curling, achieving a historical high of 18th
place.

Current Picture
The first Paralympic Winter Games was held
in rnsk ldsvik, Sweden, in 1976. Since then, the
Paralympic Games has been held jointly with the
Olympic Games in the same city. The Innsbruck 1988
Paralympic Winter Games was the first Paralympic
Winter Games to use the facilities of the Olympic
Winter Games.
Paralympic Winter Games had five sports—
para alpine skiing, para biathlon, para cross-country
skiing, para ice hockey and wheelchair curling—
until the Sochi 2014 Paralympic Winter Games. Para
snowboard was added to the PyeongChang 2018
Paralympic Winter Games as a separate discipline,
resulting in today’s six-discipline system.
The Sochi 2014 Paralympic Winter Games included
para snowboard in the form of an event under the
para alpine skiing discipline (one medal each for the
men’s and women’s categories). Para bobsleigh
will be added as a new discipline in the 2022 Beijing
Paralympic Winter Games.
PARA + OLYMPIC = PARALYMPIC
The first competition for persons with disabilities is hosted by Dr. Ludwig Guttman of the Stoke Mandeville Hospital to assist in the rehabilitation of war
veterans.
The Stoke Mandeville Games is held once again with participation from other European countries, such as Germany, Norway and Sweden.
Discussions between the presidents of the IOC and the IPC for the principle of ‘One City, One Bid’ started during the Sydney 2000 Paralympic Games.
An agreement between the IOC and the IPC ensures that the Olympic Games and the Paralympic Games will be held in the same city from the Beijing 2008 Olympic and Paralympic Summer Games (and extended three times until the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games).
After the conclusion of the Seoul 1988 Paralympic Summer Games, the establishment of the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) in 1989 provides a firm basis for the
development of Paralympic Games and sports for persons with disabilities.
Founding of various international sports organisations for persons with disabilities, such as the International Stoke Mandeville Games Federation (ISMGF), International Sports Organisation of the Disabled (ISOD), Cerebral Palsy International Sports and Recreation Association (CP-ISRA) and International Blind Sports Federation (IBSF)
Founding of the International Coordinating Committee of World Sports Organisations for the Disabled to facilitate coordination and cooperation between organisations

Seoul 1988 and Its Meaning
The Seoul 1988 Paralympic Summer Games is said to have opened
a new chapter in the history of the modern Paralympic Games, featuring
the first of the many features that would eventually be added to the
Paralympic Games proper: it was the first Paralympic Games to be held
jointly with the Olympic Games in the same city; the first Paralympic
Games to adopt the practices of ‘utilizing the same facilities,’ ‘Paralympic
Villages,’ ‘MVP selection’ and the Torch Relay; and the first Paralympic
Games to realise the emblem that would eventually be officially used by
the IPC.
Whang Youn Dai Achievement AwardA great step forward for the Paralympic Games
The empowering inspiration of the Paralympic Games also resulted
in the reclamation of the identity of those with disabilities, resulting in
an increased number of registered persons with disabilities from 90,000
nationwide to 500,000 after the Paralympic Games (550 per cent)
within six months after the Closing Ceremony.
Seoul 1988 resulted not only in the creation of competition facilities and venues but also in a
nationwide overhaul of facilities and the legal framework for the benefits of persons with disabilities,
thereby forming a societal consensus on the need for accessibility and a basis for vast improvements.
The expansion of support towards the Paralympic Summer Games catalysed a significant growth in
the capabilities of the Korean team, which has achieved its highest performance at Seoul 1988 (seventh
place: 40 gold, 35 silver and 19 bronze) and has consistently put up a strong performance since then.
A change in the public’s perception allowed persons with disabilities to join the workforce, both
in the private and public sectors, en masse, while the private sector began to identify persons with
disabilities as consumers.
International Achievements
Seoul 1988 Paralympic Games Emblem
1994 IPC Emblem (first change from 1989)
Current IPC Emblem (in use since Torino 2006)
The ‘Whang Youn Dai Achievement Award,’ which is given
to the Most Valuable Players (MVPs) of the Paralympic Games,
has consistently been featured as an official programme in the
Paralympic Games up to the most recent Rio 2016.
The Whang Youn Dai Achievement Award is often awarded
to the athletes who displayed exemplary will and strength to
overcome their limits rather than to those who have simply
achieved the highest level of performance. It is awarded to one
male and one female athlete regardless of their ideology, race,
religion or nationality based on their exemplification of the
Paralympic values.

“The Seoul 1988 Paralympic Games was a significant progress in the development of the Paralympic Games and sports for persons with disabilities, establishing a new model for the
modern Paralympic Games and opening a new chapter in its history.”
- IPC’s evaluation of Seoul 1988’s contribution to the Paralympic Games (2008 IPC Conference)
As the first Paralympic Games to be held jointly at the same time and in the same city with the Olympic
Games, Seoul 1988 successfully introduced features like the use of the same facilities for the Games
as well as the Opening and Closing Ceremonies, eventually contributing to the establishment of a new
tradition.
Seoul 1988 also featured a Torch Relay
to commemorate the joint hosting of the
Olympic Games and the Paralympic Games
(starting from Ganghwado Island and ending
at Jamsil Olympic Stadium), which contributed
to national attention as well as discussions
on the Paralympic Games and persons with
disabilities. After the successes of the Seoul
1988 Paralympic Torch Relay, the Paralympic
Torch Relays would eventually be integrated
to the tradition of the Paralympic Games as
a major celebration of the culture of the Host
Country as well as the values of harmony and
cooperation.
Upon the request of the IPC, the emblem of the Seoul 1988 Paralympic Summer Games was also
adopted as the official emblem of the IPC from 1989.

Para alpine skiing is said to have begun
during World War II, where amputees began to
ski with crutches.
The discipline was included for the first
time in the rnsk ldsvik 1976 Paralympic Winter
Games in Sweden and the Republic of Korea
entered the discipline for the first time in the
1992 Tignes–Albertville Paralympic Winter
Games in France.
Unlike in the Olympic Winter Games, para
alpine skiing is subdivided into three class groups
according to the type of impairment: visually
impaired (B 1–3), standing (LW 1–9) and sitting (LW
10–12). It includes the following events: men and
women’s downhill, men and women’s super-G,
men and women’s giant slalom, men and women’s
slalom and men and women’s super combined.
Para alpine skiing uses the final results at
the finish line, multiplied by the ASD-Factor (four
digits below the decimal point, according to
the classification of impairment), to derive the
ranking.
Each discipline includes the class groups of
standing, sitting and visually impaired for men
and women, and the starting order of the class
groups is visually impaired standing sitting.

Para cross-country skiing is
a rapid race across predefined
tracks in mountains or fields. It is
divided into three classes: sitting
(LW10-12), standing (LW 1-9) and
visually impaired (B1-3).
Para cross-country skiing
in the PyeongChang 2018
Paralympic Winter Games
features 20 events made up of
18 events, which consist of sprint,
middle and long events—divided
into men’s and women’s (visually
impaired, sitting and standing)—
and the mixed and open relay
events.
Special Rules for Paralympic Athletes
B1 and B2 athletes of the Visually Impaired class must
participate in the game with a guide,* but B3 athletes can choose
to acquire help from a guide or run the course alone.
*Guides :
Specialised guides run the length of the course with the athletes and
help provide information necessary for the athletes to navigate the
course. They may use the same track as the athletes or ride in front or
at the back of the athletes and use electronic communicative devices,
but must not hamper other athletes. Guides may not touch the athletes
except in the holding zone.
Important
Take note that, unlike in the Olympic Winter Games, para cross-
country skiing events are held in the Alpensia Biathlon Centre.

Disciplines
Para snowboard was included into the Sochi 2014
Paralympic Winter Games as a part of para alpine
skiing sports as a test case. It has now been elevated
to an official sport in PyeongChang 2018, consisting
of ten events subdividing the banked slalom and
snowboard cross into classes (men’s: SB-UL, SB-LL1
and 2 / women’s: SB-LL1 and 2).
Para snowboard features different regulations
and technical details to allow athletes with an
impairment to participate in the games. The events
are classified into two classes: lower limb (SB-LL1
and 2) and upper limb (SB-UL).
Para Snowboard
Snowboard Cross (SBX)
Snowboard cross is a race through the
course made up of various obstacles such
as banks, rollers, spines, jumps and Wu-
Tang.
Qualification events are ranked according to
the individual record of an athlete, generally
selecting a faster record out of two runs.
The finals feature a race of two athletes,
selected according to the results of their
qualification event, with the first athlete
to cross the finish line with a body part or
the snowboard as the winner. The winner
proceeds to the next round.
Course specifications include an altitude
of 100 – 200 m, a length of 500 - 1,000 m, an
average slope of 1 2° ± 3° / 2 - 25 per cent, a
slope time of 40 - 70 s and a width of more
than 40 m.
Banked Slalom (BSL)
It can be said to be a slalom game on
snowboards, with banks set on the course
to facilitate the rotation of the athletes.
Athletes take three runs through the course
and the fastest record is chosen for the
ranking.
Course specifications include an altitude
of 100 – 250 m, a length of 400 - 1,000 m, an
average slope of 1 5° ± 3° / 20 - 35 per cent,
a slope time of 30 - 90 s and a width of more
than 25 m.

The puck has a diameter of 7.62 cm, a height
of 2.54 cm and a weight of 156 - 170 g, and is
made up of vulcanised rubber. The goal has a
length of 183 cm and a height of 122 cm.
Given the rapid and often violent nature of
the game, athletes wear protective helmets
with masks, neck and shoulder protectors and
gloves covering the hand and wrist. Goalies
wear extra protection l ike leg pads, body
pads, helmets with visors, blocking gloves and
catching gloves to protect their bodies from
pucks, which can reach up to 100 km/h in speed.
Each match is played in a closed ice rink
that is 60 m across and 30 m wide, flanked on
all sides by protective glasses and netting to
protect both the athletes and the spectators.
The rink is divided into the defending zone, the
neutral zone and the attacking zone according
to the rules of each game.

changed its name to para ice hockey. Athletes
with an impairment in their lower extremity take
part in mixed teams and the sport is very popular
because of its fast-paced and exciting play.
Para ice hockey follows a modified version
of the International Ice Hockey Federation
(IIHF) regulations. Athletes use a double-bladed
sledge instead of skates to allow the puck to
pass through; a set of two sticks with a spike,
which allows athletes to propel themselves on
the ice; and a blade, which is used for shooting.
T h e t e a m c o n s i s t s o f t w o g o a l i e s

supervision of one referee and two liney . Each
match usually includes three forwards, two
defense and one goalie. Penalties are issued for
every violation in the field and the team with the
most number of scores wins the match.

About the Sport
92 | PyeongChang 2018 Paralympic Winter Games
Wheelchair curling has a 15-year history as
an international sport. Despite being a relatively
new sport, the popularity of curling in Europe
and North America meant that there were
active clubs playing the sport long before its
adoption into international competitions.
Wheelchair curling was recognised as a
Paralympic sport by the IPC in 2002 and was
adopted as an official competition sport in
the Torino 2006 Paralympic Winter Games.
There is a single medal event available for the
PyeongChang 2018 Paralympic Winter Games.
Did You Know?
‘Curling stones’ are made with granite quarried
from Ailsa Craig in Scotland. Traditionally, in a
game, the winner buys drinks (beers) for the loser.
During the Olympic and Paralympic Games
period, game commentating will be available
through radio. Do not forget to bring earphones.
Important
Please maintain silence when stones
are thrown.
The game schedule is subject to change without prior notice.
