The Sochi Paralympics began on Saturday, March 8, and will go on to March 16. There are four sports categories: alpine skiing/snowboarding, biathlon/cross-country skiing, ice sledge hockey, and wheelchair curling, and in each category, there are a number of events. After the first two days, Russia is in first place followed by Ukraine. Japan is in third place with five medals. I watched Kano Akira’s gold medal performances in the men’s super-G and the men’s downhill sitting. As the newspaper said, he was blazingly fast! (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
