Five medals including three golds by Valentina Schitz and two silvers by Lidia Loban were won by the Belarusian Paralympians in Khanty-Mansiysk, where the Russian Open Cross-Country Skiing and Biathlon Championship among athletes with locomotor system disorders was held. The team was warmly welcomed at the national airport in Minsk.
A year ago, on a similar stage, our athlete also rose to the top step of the podium three times. This time, our young people performed on a par with the titular athletes.
Now athletes will go on vacation. Meanwhile, a similar tournament among athletes with visual impairments started in Izhevsk.
