What is "para Nordic skiing"?
Para Nordic skiing is a type of Nordic skiing adapted for athletes with physical disabilities. The sport includes both cross-country skiing and biathlon events and uses specialized equipment, such as sit-skis or adaptive skis with poles, to help athletes move across snow-covered terrain. Athletes use their upper body strength and coordination to glide on flat or gently sloping trails. Para Nordic skiing is a competitive and recreational activity that requires strength, endurance, and technique, offering athletes with disabilities the chance to experience the challenges and excitement of skiing.
