- Published
Wheelchair curler Gregor Ewan, skiers Millie Knight and Menna Fitzpatrick and snowboarder James Barnes-Miller are part of the British Paralympic team Beijing
The summer Paralympics only came to an end in early September but the Winter Paralympics in Beijing are in full flow.
Four years ago in Pyeongchang, the ParalympicsGB squad enjoyed their most successful Winters with seven medals - one gold, four silver and two bronze - all from the alpine skiers.
Follow our comprehensive day-by-day guide (all times GMT) as Great Britain look to emulate that success.
Sunday, 13 March - day nine
Medal events: Six
Alpine skiing (Men's slalom visually impaired, seated, standing); Nordic skiing (mixed cross-country 4x2.5km relay, open 4x2.5km relay); Para-ice hockey (mixed team)
Highlights
The final day of competition in Beijing, and at the Alpine Ski Centre the men's slalom brings down the curtain on the action from the slopes.
Whitley was born without hands and uses his lower body to guide himself down the slopes
There is slalom action in all three categories with the opening run from 00:30 and the second run from 04:30.
Britain's Neil Simpson was sixth in the visually impaired event at the World Championships in January and this probably isn't the Scot's best event.
The top three at the Worlds - Austria's Johannes Aigner, Italian Giacomo Bertagnolli and Jakub Krako of Slovakia will all hope to be among the medallists.
James Whitley will go for Britain in the standing events while both Dan Sheen and Alex Slegg will aim to end their Paralympic debuts on a high with a solid performance in the seated event.
World watch
The Para-ice hockey final (04:05) features yet another match-up between the USA, who are chasing their fourth title in a row, against old rivals Canada.
The sides met in the final four years ago with the US winning in overtime and they are also world champions, thanks to a 5-1 win over the Canadians in Ostrava last June.
The sides met in the opening match of the tournament in Beijing with the US winning 5-0 but Canada have found their form since then.
The relays are the final events in the busy nordic skiing programme. France took the honours in the open relay (04:00) four years ago, getting the better of Norway and Canada - who fielded Brian McKeever on their team.
The mixed relay (02:00) was won last time out by Ukraine, with Canada and Germany taking silver and bronze.
The games will then finish with the closing ceremony (12:00) as the baton is passed to Milan-Cortina for 2026.
Did you know?
The rules of Para-ice hockey are the same as non-disabled ice hockey, with some equipment modifications. Instead of skates, players sit in double-blade sledges that allow the puck to pass beneath. They also use two sticks, which have a spiked end for pushing and a blade end for shooting.
