There is a reason why Winter Paralympics has the term Winter in it, but perhaps the change of season does not care for what name you assign to a sporting event. Although the Beijing Paralympics is almost over now, still the athletes taking part in some events are facing weather disruptions in their respective sports.

Despite the environmental conditions not cooperating, the 16-year-old Austrian skier Johannes Aigner won his second gold medal in the Beijing Paralympics 2022. In a nail-biting race, Aigner just finished 1.68sec ahead of the Italian skier Giacomo Bertagnolli. Overall Aigner now has four medals in the Beijing Paralympics.
