    SPORTS

    Due to a lack of entries and suitable venues to hold the ice sports, only alpine and nordic skiing (biathlon and cross-country skiing) competitions were held. Demonstration events in alpine and nordic skiing were held for athletes with intellectual impairments and in biathlon for those with visual impairments.
