4 We offer our heartfelt welcome to the visitors of the PyeongChang 2018 Paralympic Winter Games. All our esteemed visitors! LEE Hee-beom President and CEO of the PyeongChang Organizing Committee for the 2018 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games The PyeongChang 2018 Paralympic Winter Games will be the largest Paralympic Games to date, featuring more than 1,500 athletes from 50 nations who will be competing in 80 events and 6 sports. While all sports have their triumphant moments, it can perhaps be said that the spirit and passion shown by athletes with disabilities while overcoming themselves are particularly special. I will join the visitors and spectators from all around the world in rooting for those triumphant moments for which the athletes of the Paralympic Games have worked so tirelessly for. Thirty years ago, Seoul became the first city in the world to host both the Paralympic Games and the Olympic Games at the same time. The Seoul 1988 Paralympic Summer Games eventually left its mark in Korean history as a catalyst for a general shift in the social perception of our neighbours with disabilities. Now, in PyeongChang 2018, we once again stand before a miraculous event that will bring together and connect people worldwide in unified passion (Passion. Connected.). I am confident that this occasion, just like its predecessor in 1988, will also serve as a valuable opportunity to bring Korea one step closer to the ideal of a true state of care. Now, the grand festival of harmony and togetherness begins. Once again, I invite you to join us as we celebrate the burning passion of PyeongChang and to take these memories to heart. Thank you! CHOI Mun-sun Governor of Gangwon As the representative of the 1.5 million people of Gangwon Province, I extend my warmest welcome to the visitors of the PyeongChang 2018 Paralympic Winter Games. Last month, we celebrated an exceedingly successful Olympic Winter Games, brought together by the passion of the athletes, the attention of our visitors and the smiles of our volunteers. Once again, I offer my thanks to our visitors for their help in realizing this memorable event. The Olympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018 will also be remembered as a true example of Peace Olympics, bringing together North Korea and South Korea into the start of a reconciliation. For the last 20 years, we at Gangwon Province focused our efforts on creating the basis for this year. We have endeavoured to create optimal venues, access roads and a welcoming and comfortable environment for all spectators to enjoy the Paralympic Winter Games and the cultural heritage of Gangwon. We invite you to join us as we welcome the delegations, visitors and guests of our province with the warm hospitality and goodwill of Gangwon. Being held in the divided Gangwon Province located in the only divided country in the world, The PyeongChang 2018 Winter Games has since become something greater than itself, a bold statement towards Peace Olympics. As we go into the Paralympic Winter Games, we will focus our efforts to ensuring that all of our guests can enjoy the festival regardless of their disabilities, race, age and other barriers under the belief that the success of the Paralympic Games is the true signifier of a successful PyeongChang 2018 Winter Games. Furthermore, we will strive to create an environment of exchange and sharing for the entire world to take part in. It has now been 30 years since the previous Paralympic Games held in Korea, which is in Seoul We ask you to join us as we stand by and encourage the passionate drama of the athletes as their potentials blossom at the critical mass of human limitations. We ask you to take triumphant and celebratory moments to your heart, and to visit our beautiful land once again. We will welcome you like family. We hope that you can create happy, beautiful memories during your stay in PyeongChang, a land of peace and where the world has gathered. We hope you can join us as we take the final step towards the end of a long, long journey that has led us to this day. You, who stand with us here, are the true protagonists of the Paralympic Games. 2 PyeongChang 2018 Paralympic Winter Games Official Spectator Guide 3

7 About the Symbols Emblem Five Key Paralympic Objectives Cultural Games Environmental Games Games for Peace The emblem of the PyeongChang 2018 Paralympic Winter Games is linked with that of the Olympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018, and depicts the imagery of a peaceful and hopeful world overcoming all barriers of race, region and disabilities. The emblem portrays two people holding hands together, symbolizing a world where people with and without disabilities, athletes and spectators and the people of the world come together. Slogan Passion means the feeling of enthusiasm towards, attachment to and love for something. Connected expresses being linked, combined, bridged and communicated. Combined, Passion. Connected. expresses PyeongChang s vision to connect the hearts of people worldwide through a unified passion in the Paralympic Winter Games, expanding participation across all age groups and spaces, and opening new horizons for winter sports. Mascot Bandabi, the mascot of the PyeongChang 2018 Paralympic Winter Games, takes after the Black Bear. Black bears, or moon bears, are animals with a strong will and courage. Banda comes from the Korean word bandal, which means half-moon, while bi refers to the commemoration of the Paralympic Winter Games. Bandabi is a strong-willed and courageous individual who fights for the cause of harmony and equality, and a kindhearted friend to the athletes of the Paralympic Winter Games, offering heartfelt encouragements to the athletes to help them transcend their limits.

13 2 History of the Paralympic Games

14 History of the Paralympic Games Etymology PARA + OLYMPIC = PARALYMPIC The word Paralympic is a compound word of Paraplegia and Olympic, reflecting its beginnings as games between individuals suffering from paraplegia. As the category of participants (individuals with a visual impairment, cerebral palsy, loss of limbs and others) expanded, however, the IPC has redefined the word Paralympic with the Greek prefix para, giving it a new meaning of a festival conducted alongside the Olympic Games. Development The first competition for persons with disabilities is hosted by Dr. Ludwig Guttman of the Stoke Mandeville Hospital to assist in the rehabilitation of war veterans. The Stoke Mandeville Games is held once again with participation from other European countries, such as Germany, Norway and Sweden. Founding of various international sports organisations for persons with disabilities, such as the International Stoke Mandeville Games Federation (ISMGF), International Sports Organisation of the Disabled (ISOD), Cerebral Palsy International Sports and Recreation Association (CP-ISRA) and International Blind Sports Federation (IBSF) Current Picture Korea and the Paralympic Winter Games Founding of the International Coordinating Committee of World Sports Organisations for the Disabled to facilitate coordination and cooperation between organisations After the conclusion of the Seoul 1988 Paralympic Summer Games, the establishment of the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) in 1989 provides a firm basis for the development of Paralympic Games and sports for persons with disabilities. Discussions between the presidents of the IOC and the IPC for the principle of One City, One Bid started during the Sydney 2000 Paralympic Games. The first Paralympic Winter Games was held in rnsk ldsvik, Sweden, in Since then, the Paralympic Games has been held jointly with the Olympic Games in the same city. The Innsbruck 1988 Paralympic Winter Games was the first Paralympic Winter Games to use the facilities of the Olympic Winter Games. Paralympic Winter Games had five sports para alpine skiing, para biathlon, para cross-country skiing, para ice hockey and wheelchair curling until the Sochi 2014 Paralympic Winter Games. Para snowboard was added to the PyeongChang 2018 Paralympic Winter Games as a separate discipline, resulting in today s six-discipline system. Korea s first entry into the Paralympic Winter Games came in the form of two athletes taking part in the Albertville 1992 Paralympic Winter Games. The first medal for Korea was won by HAN Sang-min in the Salt Lake City 2008 Paralympic Winter Games under the para alpine skiing discipline (silver; LW12-1). In Vancouver 2010, 49 athletes from Korea took part in all five disciplines and won a silver medal in wheelchair curling, achieving a historical high of 18th place An agreement between the IOC and the IPC ensures that the Olympic Games and the Paralympic Games will be held in the same city from the Beijing 2008 Olympic and Paralympic Summer Games (and extended three times until the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games). The Sochi 2014 Paralympic Winter Games included para snowboard in the form of an event under the para alpine skiing discipline (one medal each for the men s and women s categories). Para bobsleigh will be added as a new discipline in the 2022 Beijing Paralympic Winter Games. 22 PyeongChang 2018 Paralympic Winter Games Official Spectator Guide 23

15 Seoul 1988 and Its Meaning International Achievements A great step forward for the Paralympic Games The Seoul 1988 Paralympic Summer Games is said to have opened a new chapter in the history of the modern Paralympic Games, featuring the first of the many features that would eventually be added to the Paralympic Games proper: it was the first Paralympic Games to be held jointly with the Olympic Games in the same city; the first Paralympic Games to adopt the practices of utilizing the same facilities, Paralympic Villages, MVP selection and the Torch Relay; and the first Paralympic Games to realise the emblem that would eventually be officially used by the IPC. Whang Youn Dai Achievement Award The Whang Youn Dai Achievement Award, which is given to the Most Valuable Players (MVPs) of the Paralympic Games, has consistently been featured as an official programme in the Paralympic Games up to the most recent Rio The Whang Youn Dai Achievement Award is often awarded to the athletes who displayed exemplary will and strength to overcome their limits rather than to those who have simply achieved the highest level of performance. It is awarded to one male and one female athlete regardless of their ideology, race, religion or nationality based on their exemplification of the Paralympic values. Yonhapnews The Seoul 1988 Paralympic Games was a significant progress in the development of the Paralympic Games and sports for persons with disabilities, establishing a new model for the modern Paralympic Games and opening a new chapter in its history. - IPC s evaluation of Seoul 1988 s contribution to the Paralympic Games (2008 IPC Conference) Domestic Gains The four legacies of the Seoul 1988 Paralympic Games by the Korean Society for Adapted Physical Activity & Exercise As the first Paralympic Games to be held jointly at the same time and in the same city with the Olympic Games, Seoul 1988 successfully introduced features like the use of the same facilities for the Games as well as the Opening and Closing Ceremonies, eventually contributing to the establishment of a new tradition. Seoul 1988 also featured a Torch Relay to commemorate the joint hosting of the Olympic Games and the Paralympic Games (starting from Ganghwado Island and ending at Jamsil Olympic Stadium), which contributed to national attention as well as discussions on the Paralympic Games and persons with disabilities. After the successes of the Seoul 1988 Paralympic Torch Relay, the Paralympic Torch Relays would eventually be integrated to the tradition of the Paralympic Games as a major celebration of the culture of the Host Country as well as the values of harmony and cooperation. Upon the request of the IPC, the emblem of the Seoul 1988 Paralympic Summer Games was also adopted as the official emblem of the IPC from Human rights of persons with disabilities Improvement of the public s perception, establishment of representative and protective organisations Expansion of human resources in various fields Contribution to the next generation of sport experts, judges, managers and leaders Expansion of athlete support and talent pool Expansion of benefits, support, facilities and programmes Establishment of organisations for athletes with an impairment Korean Paralympic Committee (KPC), organisations for each discipline and others Seoul 1988 resulted not only in the creation of competition facilities and venues but also in a nationwide overhaul of facilities and the legal framework for the benefits of persons with disabilities, thereby forming a societal consensus on the need for accessibility and a basis for vast improvements. The expansion of support towards the Paralympic Summer Games catalysed a significant growth in the capabilities of the Korean team, which has achieved its highest performance at Seoul 1988 (seventh place: 40 gold, 35 silver and 19 bronze) and has consistently put up a strong performance since then. A change in the public s perception allowed persons with disabilities to join the workforce, both in the private and public sectors, en masse, while the private sector began to identify persons with disabilities as consumers. Seoul 1988 Paralympic Games Emblem 1994 IPC Emblem (first change from 1989) Current IPC Emblem (in use since Torino 2006) The empowering inspiration of the Paralympic Games also resulted in the reclamation of the identity of those with disabilities, resulting in an increased number of registered persons with disabilities from 90,000 nationwide to 500,000 after the Paralympic Games (550 per cent) within six months after the Closing Ceremony. 24 PyeongChang 2018 Paralympic Winter Games Official Spectator Guide 25

17 3 Sustainability of the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games The PyeongChang Organizing Committee for the 2018 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games has proclaimed a set of principles and goals to accomplish the vision and strategy of sustainability throughout all stages of the preparations and operations of the 2018 Winter Games.

38 Para Alpine Skiing Jeongseon Alpine Centre About the Sport Events Calendar Disciplines March Event Men s/ladies Downhill Para alpine skiing is said to have begun during World War II, where amputees began to ski with crutches. The discipline was included for the first time in the rnsk ldsvik 1976 Paralympic Winter Games in Sweden and the Republic of Korea entered the discipline for the first time in the 1992 Tignes Albertville Paralympic Winter Games in France. Unlike in the Olympic Winter Games, para alpine skiing is subdivided into three class groups according to the type of impairment: visually impaired (B 1 3), standing (LW 1 9) and sitting (LW 10 12). It includes the following events: men and women s downhill, men and women s super-g, men and women s giant slalom, men and women s slalom and men and women s super combined. Para alpine skiing uses the final results at the finish line, multiplied by the ASD-Factor (four digits below the decimal point, according to the classification of impairment), to derive the ranking. Each discipline includes the class groups of standing, sitting and visually impaired for men and women, and the starting order of the class groups is visually impaired standing sitting. 10 9:30 am / Downhill (all classes) 11 9:30 am :30 am (Super Slalom) 3:30 pm (Slalom) 9:30 am (Primaries) 2:00 pm (Finals) 9:30 am (Primaries) 12:30 pm (Finals) 9:30 am (Primaries) 2:00 pm (Finals) 9:30 am (Primaries) 12:30 pm (Finals) / Giant Slalom (all classes) / Super Combined (all classes) Slalom (all classes) Slalom (all classes) Giant Slalom (all classes) Giant Slalom (all classes) Men s Ladies Medal deciding event Altitude: m Ski minimum length: M: 205 cm / W: 200 cm Men s/ladies Super-G Altitude: m No. of flags: 10 per cent of the altitude (at least 30) Ski minimum length: M: 205 cm / W: 200 cm Men s/ladies Giant Slalom Altitude: m No. of flags: 10 per cent of the altitude (at least 30) Ski minimum length: M: 205 cm / W: 200 cm Men s/ladies Slalom Altitude: m No. of flags: per cent of the altitude Ski minimum length: M: 185 cm / W: 180 cm Men s/ladies Alpine Combined The event includes a downhill race and either a slalom or super slalom race.

46 Para Ice Hockey Gangneung Hockey Centre About the Sport Medal deciding event Game Information In November 2016, ice sledge hockey changed its name to para ice hockey. Athletes with an impairment in their lower extremity take part in mixed teams and the sport is very popular because of its fast-paced and exciting play. Para ice hockey follows a modified version of the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) regulations. Athletes use a double-bladed sledge instead of skates to allow the puck to pass through; a set of two sticks with a spike, which allows athletes to propel themselves on the ice; and a blade, which is used for shooting. The team consists of two goalies (goalkeepers) and 13 field players under the supervision of one referee and two liney. Each match usually includes three forwards, two defense and one goalie. Penalties are issued for every violation in the field and the team with the most number of scores wins the match. The puck has a diameter of 7.62 cm, a height of 2.54 cm and a weight of g, and is made up of vulcanised rubber. The goal has a length of 183 cm and a height of 122 cm. Given the rapid and often violent nature of the game, athletes wear protective helmets with masks, neck and shoulder protectors and gloves covering the hand and wrist. Goalies wear extra protection like leg pads, body pads, helmets with visors, blocking gloves and catching gloves to protect their bodies from pucks, which can reach up to 100 km/h in speed March Event 12:00 pm Qualification (Norway vs. Italy) 3:30 pm Qualification (Republic of Korea vs. Japan) 7:00 pm Qualification (Canada vs. Sweden) 12:00 pm Qualification (USA vs. Japan) 3:30 pm Qualification (Republic of Korea vs. Czech Republic) 7:00 pm Qualification (Canada vs. Italy) 12:00 pm Qualification (USA vs. Czech Republic) 3:30 pm Qualification (Canada vs. Norway) 7:00 pm Qualification (Italy vs. Sweden) 12:00 pm Qualification (USA vs. Republic of Korea) 3:30 pm Qualification (Norway vs. Sweden) 7:00 pm Qualification (Czech Republic vs. Japan) 4:00 pm Playoff 8:00 pm Playoff 12:00 pm Semi-finals 8:00 pm Semi-finals A game consists of three 15-min periods plus overtime and a shootout, if required.

There are six basic positions: goalie, left defender, right defender, centre, left wing and right wing. Only one goalie is allowed in the rink during the game. The goalie may be replaced by other players, but the replacement player is not counted as a goalie in the regulations related to goalies (especially equipment, puck movement and body contact). Each match is played in a closed ice rink that is 60 m across and 30 m wide, flanked on all sides by protective glasses and netting to protect both the athletes and the spectators. The rink is divided into the defending zone, the neutral zone and the attacking zone according to the rules of each game. 16 4:00 pm Seventh and eighth place playoff 8:00 pm Fifth and sixth place playoff 17 12:00 pm Third and fourth place playoff 18 12:00 pm Finals Medal deciding event The game schedule is subject to change without prior notice. 86 PyeongChang 2018 Paralympic Winter Games Official Spectator Guide 87
