Rio’s victory was the summit of a path of accomplishments and, above all, the beginning of a trajectory of big opportunities and challenges for the Paralympic Movement.
The infrastructure for the preparation of the Games is really impressive. There will be more than 100,000 people involved directly in the organization of the Games, including 70,000 volunteers. Millions in the city, in the country and on the continent will be reached by the games.

Sochi 2014
7th - 16th March 2014
The Sochi 2014 Paralympic Winter Games took place 7-16 March.
According to the Organizing Committee Sochi 2014 had given Russia a unique chance to change for the better.
The top priority for Sochi 2014 was the creation of a barrier free environment in the host city ensuring that everything being constructed for the Games – transport, roads, sporting and public facilities – will be accessible, and act as a blueprint for the rest of Russia for future years.
The Russian government had approved a new barrier free law and was taking unprecedented steps to improve the lives of people with a disability in the country. More than 20 states are now involved in barrier free projects.
Sochi 2014 was integrating best practice from previous Paralympic Games into their efforts to deliver the most convenient Games ever.
To mark 1,000 days to go until the start of the Games the Organizing Committee launched an innovative “Accessibility Map” with the main objective being to help people with an impairment in Russia find easily accessible locations where they can engage in Paralympic sports.
The map will also provide information about the elements that help create barrier-free environments in local areas such as ramps, hand rails and non-slip surfaces.
On hand to celebrate the landmark date were Ray of Light and Snowflake, the two mascots of the Sochi 2014 Paralympic Winter Games.
Sports: Sochi 2014 saw athletes compete in five different sports.
Russia, who finished second in the medals table in Vancouver despite winning the most medals, will be confident of topping the rankings on home soil.
Biathlon and Cross Country Skiing were likely to be the two events where Russia was hopeful of winning the most medals, whilst Germany looked to continue its success in Alpine Skiing.
The USA was looking to defend the gold medal they won in Ice Sledge Hockey in Vancouver, whilst Canada, many people’s favorites to win on home soil, will be looking to bounce back after only taking the bronze in 2010.
Should Canada claim gold in Wheelchair Curling, then they will make it a hat-trick of titles having taken the top podium position in Torino in 2006 and Vancouver in 2010.
