The '''2018 [[Winter Paralympics]]''' ({{Korean|hangul=평창 동계 패럴림픽|Korean|hanja=平昌 冬季 패럴림픽 |rr=Pyeongchang Donggye Paereollimpik}}), officially known as the '''XII Paralympic Winter Games,''' will be held in [[Pyeongchang]], [[South Korea]], and is an international [[winter sport]]s athletic event that has yet to be organized by the [[International Paralympic Committee]] (IPC) from 9 to 18 March 2018. The [[International Olympic Committee]] (IOC), received three bids on October 15, 2009. The cities of [[Annecy]], [[France]] in the French Alps, and [[Munich, Germany]] (host of the [[1972 Summer Olympics]]), were also vying for the hosting rights to the 2018 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games.<ref>[http://www.paralympic.org/Paralympic_Games/Candidate_Cities Applicant Cities], [[International Paralympic Committee]] (IPC)</ref> All three applicants were selected as Candidate cities on June 22, 2010. The winning bid was announced on July 6, 2011 at the 123rd IOC Session in [[Durban]], [[South Africa]].
The '''2018 Winter Paralympics''' ({{Korean|hangul=2018년 동계 패럴림픽|rr=2018nyeon Donggye Paereollimpik}}), the 12th [[Paralympic Winter Games]], and also more generally known as the '''PyeongChang 2018 Paralympic Winter Games''', were an international [[multi-sport event]] for [[Disabled sports|athletes with disabilities]] governed by the [[International Paralympic Committee]] (IPC), that was held in [[Pyeongchang County|Pyeongchang]], [[South Korea]], from 9 to 18 March 2018. They were the second Paralympics to be held in South Korea, following the [[1988 Summer Paralympics]] in Seoul.


569 athletes representing a record 49 [[National Paralympic Committee]]s participated in these Games, including 3 newcomers Georgia, North Korea and Tajikistan. Following its debut as disciplines under the Alpine programme in Sochi, snowboarding was expanded into a separate sport with 8 additional events.
On October 29, 2013, the new emblem was revealed for the 2018 Winter Paralympic Games in preparation of the handover from Sochi on March 16, 2014.

[[Pyeongchang]] launched its third consecutive bid for the Winter Olympic & Paralympic Games, which ultimately won. [[Munich]] also launched a bid to host. [[Annecy]] launched a bid but failed to gain public support from locals. Their bid ultimately just received seven votes. Only these three cities made bids for these games and all three became candidates.

Prior to the [[2018 Winter Olympics]], [[North Korea]] agreed to have its athletes march together with those of the South Korean team during the opening ceremonies, and field a unified women's hockey team. However, during a meeting in Pyeongchang between the leaders of their National Paralympic Committees, the two countries were unable to organize a similar arrangement for the Paralympics. The South Korean Paralympic Committee stated that North Korean officials had requested that the [[Liancourt Rocks]] (which are the subject of an [[Liancourt Rocks dispute|ongoing sovereignty dispute]] between South Korea and Japan) be included on the [[Korean Unification Flag]] during the Paralympics. South Korea declined this request, as they considered it contradictory to IPC recommendations against political gestures.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-43327934|title='Flag dispute' halts joint Korean march|date=8 March 2018|work=BBC News|access-date=10 March 2018|language=en-GB}}</ref>

IPC president [[Andrew Parsons (sports administrator)|Andrew Parsons]] expressed disappointment over the decision, but noted that the country "respects and values the IPC's vision and mission" and had "committed to working further with the IPC to improve the lives of people with an impairment in North Korea", while also acknowledging that the IOC had "made great progress in opening up dialogue between the two nations" prior to the Olympics, and that their meeting "underlines the tremendous ability of sport to bring countries together in positive dialogue."<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.cbc.ca/sports/paralympics/north-south-korea-march-separately-paralympics-1.4567231|title=North, South Korea to march separately in Paralympics opening ceremony|work=CBC Sports|access-date=8 March 2018|language=en-US}}</ref>

The 2018 Winter Paralympics (Korean2018년 동계 패럴림픽; RR2018nyeon Donggye Paereollimpik), the 12th Paralympic Winter Games, and also more generally known as the PyeongChang 2018 Paralympic Winter Games, were an international multi-sport event for athletes with disabilities governed by the International Paralympic Committee (IPC), that was held in Pyeongchang, South Korea, from 9 to 18 March 2018. They were the second Paralympics to be held in South Korea, following the 1988 Summer Paralympics in Seoul.

569 athletes representing a record 49 National Paralympic Committees participated in these Games, including 3 newcomers Georgia, North Korea and Tajikistan. Following its debut as disciplines under the Alpine programme in Sochi, snowboarding was expanded into a separate sport with 8 additional events.

Host selection

[edit]

As part of a formal agreement between the International Paralympic Committee and the International Olympic Committee first established in 2001,[1] the winner of the bid for the 2018 Winter Olympics was also to host the 2018 Winter Paralympics.

Pyeongchang was elected as host during the 123rd IOC Session in Durban in 2011, earning the required majority of at least 48 votes in the first round of voting.[2][3]

They fielded 30 athletes in 5 sports, participating as Neutral Paralympic Athletes (NPA), marching under the Paralympic flag at the Opening and Closing Ceremonies and the Paralympic anthem played in any ceremony.[18]
