The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) along with International Olympic Committee (IOC) has condemned Russia’s breach of the Olympic Truce prior to Beijing 2022 Paralympic Winter Games. However, despite that, the Russian athletes will be allowed to take part in the Paralympics. Beijing is expecting a delegation of 71 Russian athletes who’ll be competing in the Winter Paralympics.
