Day 1 − Friday 7 March

[edit]
Opening ceremony
  • The opening ceremony took place at the Fisht Olympic Stadium. The ceremony included the lighting of the Paralympic Cauldron, as well as the athlete's parade. In response to Russia's military intervention, Ukraine only sent their flag bearer, Mykhaylo Thackenko, into the ceremony, with the others remaining outside in protest. There were huge cheers when Ukraine was announced, however.[1][2]
