Just watching the sledge hockey.
The way they tear around, it is hard to believe that they are disabled
Also watched the wheelchair curling.
They dont use sweepers, so need to be more accurate than in the able bodied version
As for the sitting skiers, how on earth do they keep upright.

I saw those as well.
I think they are mostly visually impaired, and that is why the guide wears bright coloured clothes
When following, the skier can probably just about see an orange blob
It is terrifying enough to me to ski downhill at those speeds when you can see, let alone when you cant.
Very brave to even try it.
