2022 medals
The design of the Beijing 2022 Winter Paralympic Medal not only reflects the culture and spirit of the host country, China, but also incorporates the innovative ideas and inspiring creativity of the artists.
Based on the principle that no two winter sports are equally wonderful, the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games medals are inspired by the same concept and use the same design.
The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) logo is engraved on the central part of the obverse of the Winter Paralympic medals, and is surrounded by the words ‘Beijing 2022 Paralympic Winter Games’ in English in engraved letters and Braille beads.
2022 mascot
The Beijing Organizing Committee for the 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games (BOCOG) on Tuesday launched the much-anticipated official Games mascots, Bing Dwyen Dwyen and Shue Ron Ron, in a glittering ceremony at the Shougang Ice Hockey Arena, attended by more than 1,600 people.
Shining lantern as Paralympic mascot
In the presence of Chinese wheelchair curler Chen Jianxin and notable dignitaries, Xue Ron Ron was introduced to the audience as the official mascot of the Beijing 2022 Paralympic Winter Games.
Shuey Rhon Rhon is a Chinese lantern kid who looks forward to welcoming friends from all over the world to the mega event. Exuding positivity, the glow emanating from its heart embodies the inspiring warmth, friendship, courage and perseverance of Para athletes who illuminate the dreams of millions every day.
2022
The Beijing Paralympic Games begin on Friday, as much of the world’s attention is focused on Russia’s war in Ukraine and its domestic consequences.
In fact, the organizers have banned Russian and Belarusian athletes from competing – reversing their original decision just a day before the start of the Games.
Hundreds of world-class athletes will take part in this year’s events, which will run till March 13. Paralympic organizers say the roster has 564 athletes representing 46 different countries, with a record number of 138 women.
