Is cross-country skiing an event of the Paralympic Games? How is this project mainly carried out?

Cross-country skiing is an event of the Paralympic Games, and skiing is a popular event of the Paralympic Games. Let's take a look at how cross-country skiing is mainly carried out in the Paralympic Games.

Because this event was held in the Paralympic Games, it is very different from ordinary cross-country skiing events. Athletes have certain physical disabilities, so at that time, this kind of competition was divided into different athletes according to two categories: physical disability and visual impairment, and athletes mainly carried out cross-country skiing according to the degree of injury. When skiing, athletes can take three postures. These three resources mainly depend on the athletes' own physical obstacles, which parts are mainly located. If there is nothing wrong with his leg, then he is the same as ordinary cross-country skiing when doing this project. They ski standing up. If they have leg disabilities, they can choose to ski by sitting, that is, sitting or kneeling on skis.

But in fact, they didn't touch the snowboard directly, but there was an instrument on the snowboard that looked like a chair. Athletes can compete in this chair, so many people are curious. If an athlete is visually impaired, what should he do during the competition? Because a competition is very fast and needs eyesight, when they are like this, they need a person with normal eyesight to guide them to participate in the competition. This man is called a guide. The guide took part in the competition with athletes with visual impairment. At this time, the guide mainly acts as the eyes of visually impaired athletes, allowing them to participate in the competition normally and complete a series of obstacle competitions.
