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!

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


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


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)

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.

Sustainability of the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games

The PyeongChang Organizing Committee for the 2018 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games has

proclaimed a set of principles and goals to accomplish the vision and strategy of sustainability throughout

all stages of the preparations and operations of the 2018 Winter Games .

The PyeongChang 2018 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games systematically implements a

sustainability management strategy that fulfils the social responsibilities of ensuring O2 Plus through low-

carbon operations and resource circulation, biodiversity preservation, the restoration of the ecosystem,

reforestation, water quality improvement and building of clean water supply infrastructure. With these

principles in mind, the PyeongChang 2018 Organizing Committee is striving to protect the clean natural

environment that the host region has while effectively controlling its impact on climate change.

As a part of the effort, the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games has opened its

sustainability home page to provide greenhouse gas emissions, outdoor/indoor air quality and potable

water quality through the Environment & Greenhouse Gas Information System (EGIS), a first attempt in

Olympic history.

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


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.

About the Sport Events Calendar


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

Medal deciding event


Para Ice HockeyGangneung Hockey Centre

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.

I n N ove m b e r 2 0 1 6, i c e s l e d g e h o c key

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

(goalkeepers) and 13 field players under the

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


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.
