In the second, the track was already slightly slapped. I made a little mistake, but I did not want to give in, I wanted to aim. I did it

He competes in para-snowboarding. Romania first went to the Winter Paralympics in 2010.  The country has never won a medal at the Winter Games. At the 2010 and 2014 Games, Romania was represented by one skier, Laura Văleanu.

Romania sent only one person to the 2018 Games.  The person was Mihaita Papara.  He competes in para-snowboarding 

The table below contains the list of members of people (called "Team Romania") that will be participating in the 2018 Games.
Assistance 
The Romanian National Paralympic Committee has few employees.  They also have very little money.  Despite this, they try very hard to help all sportspeople with disabilities in Romania. Their 2014 budget was   for twelve sports.  Snowboard became their thirteenth sport.  This happened after Mihaita Papara asked the Committee Chairperson Sally Wood Lamont to support him.  In 2016, the budget for the Romanian National Paralympic Committee increased.  The year of the Summer Paralympics, their budget was   .  In comparison, Croatia had a budget of  in 2015. They money increased because Romanians did well in international competitions.  Because the costs to compete are very high, the money was still not enough. There are few sponsors for disability sportspeople in Romania.  The Paralympic Games do not get much media coverage.  This makes it very difficult for people in Romania to go to the Paralympic Games.

Para-snowboarding
Para-snowboarding

Snowboarders 
Papară started snowboarding after a car accident.  Snowboarding made his life more normal.  It was more like life before his accident.  He started using a new knee prosthesis in 2012. It was exhausting.  He could have tried to go to the 2014 Winter Paralympics. He chose not to.  Because he would not have been at his best, Papară thought it was not honorable to go.  He also did not have much experience competing at snowboarding.  By 2018, things had changed. Papară had participated in a lot more races.  He had more experience.  His fitness was better.  He entered his first international snowboard race in November 2014.  Before his first race, a little voice in his head said, "Wait, what you're doing, it's too risky, you're going to hurt yourself, give up!"  The prosthetic he uses to snowboard costs . The Romania Olympic Committee assisted in paying for part of his prosthetic.
Laura Văleanu is Papară's role model.  Her amputation is similar to his.  She was a skier.  She represented Romania at the 2010 Winter Paralympics.  Those were the first Winter Paralympics Romania went to. Sport was a passion for her.  It assisted in her recovery. Papară tried to do the same as Văleanu.  Sport became a way to regain life.

Papară was in a car accident in 3 September 2005.  Because of the accident, doctors amputated his leg. After the accident, he tried to live a normal life.  He tried to make sure his amputation did not mean he could not do things he wanted to do.  He said, "The recovery after such an accident, after an amputation is very difficult and lasting. If I were to give advice to a person in the same situation, I would tell them to start a physical activity, to start sport as soon as possible."

Papară is from Gheorgheni, Harghita.  He was born in Harghita.
Before the Games 
In early February, Papară went to a World Cup in Canada.  He was in the banked slalom and snowboard cross races.  He said it was important people in Romania saw him snowboarding.  He thinks it will help change people's mind about what people with disabilities can do.  He wants to be a role model for others with disabilities.

They need help to put on jackets.  They may need help to get into a special chair. It can be difficult to stay warm when you do not have hands.  Winter sports are also very expensive.  The cost makes it difficult for many people to participate.

Goals 
Poland did not win any medals at the 2014 Winter Paralympics.   Poland won a bronze medal at the 2010 Winter Paralympics. Polish Paralympic Committee President Łukasz Szeliga said the goal of Poland is to have better finishes than 2010 and 2014.  They would like to win at least one medal.

The following is the list of number of competitors that could participate at the Games per sport/discipline.

Doping scandal
Doping scandal 

After the 2014 Winter Paralympics, the McLaren report said 35 people from Russia had done doping during the Games in Sochi. A decision had been made by mid-2016 that Russia would not be able to compete under the Russian flag at the 2018 Games.  The  International Paralympic Committee (IPC) set conditions for Russia's membership in November 2016. The McLaren Report, printed in December 2016, said more than 1,000 Olympic and Paralympic people had been involved with Russia's government sponsored doping program.

In early January 2017, the Russians asked the ban be removed.  They wanted to be able to participate in specific qualifying competitions. In April 2017, a proposal was made to allow Russians to compete using a neutral flag.  This was rejected.  The IPC explained that people could only use a neutral flag if they were refugees or had no National Paralympic Committee.
In May 2017, the IPC said the Russians had until September 2017 to meet all the conditions if they wanted to go to the Winter Paralympics. If they did not meet the conditions, the Russians probably would not be able to go.

15 National Paralympic Committees and the International Wheelchair and Amputee Sports Federation signed a letter expressing support for the National Paralympic Committee of Russia in August 2017.  The countries included Armenia, Belarus, Bulgaria, Vietnam, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, China, Laos, Moldova, Mongolia, Serbia, Tajikistan, Montenegro, and South Korea.  They asked the IPC Governing Board to consider letting Russia compete at the 2018 Winter Paralympics.  The letter was signed weeks before the IPC Governing Board met in Abu Dhabi. In September 2017, this decision was reviewed and upheld.  The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) still had concerns about doping in Russian sport.  All the conditions the IPC required of the Russians were not met.
Because the  IPC thought Russia had a doping program run by the government, Russian people were stopped from going to the Games with the Russian flag at the 2018 Games. Some Russian people competed as "Neutral Paralympic Athletes" if the IPC thought they were had not done doping.  Because of this, Russians were allowed to compete in 5 sports:  para-alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, biathlon, snowboarding and wheelchair curling.  Russians were allowed to compete because the IPC thought their National Paralympic Committee had met some of the conditions the IPC had demanded of them.  More improvements were still needed though before they could compete at the Paralympics as Russia. Russia's Paralympians currently face more difficult conditions than those of Russia's Olympians.  The Government of Russia has said the allegations about doping are not true.  They blame the United States, saying it is a conspiracy to make sure they cannot compete
. Vladmir Putin said the United States was doing this to try to prevent him from winning the election for President of Russia.
All eligible people from Russia would need additional testing for use of banned substances.  The testing would be more than people from other countries would have to do. As of 29 January 2018, the IPC said 30 to 35 Russian sportspeople might be able to go to the Games the way to decide who was going was still taking place. The last date to win a spot at the 2018 Paralympics was 23 February.

The situation mirrors what happened at the 2016 Summer Paralympics, where Russian sportspeople were not allowed to compete using the flag of Russia.

Owe Lüthcke is a sledge hockey referee.  The Norwegian went to  Pyeongchang to referee matches.  He was part of the official Norwegian delegation.

History 
At the 2014 Winter Paralympics, there were 31 people from Norway competing. There were 25 men and 6 women.  They won 1 gold medal, 2 silver medals and 1 bronze medal.

Goals 
For the 2018 Winter Paralympics, Nord-Trøndelag County Council has some goals.  These included getting more people to compete in disability sports. They also wanted to increase the level of accessibility to sports buildings and sports field in Nord-Trøndelag County and the rest of Norway.
Doping 
In December 2017, Norway said it would not send any anti-doping officials to the Winter Olympics or Paralympics.  They are tired of needing to use unpaid volunteers.  They think anti-doping officials need to be paid. Anti-doping Norway chief executive Anders Solheim said, "If you sell TV rights for this arrangement for billions of dollars, then we think it's wrong that we pay for Norwegian doping controllers to help with the controls. An inspector should receive a reasonable salary and his trip paid for the three weeks he or she will be there. By not paying doping controllers, the organisers are de facto relying on volunteers. Anti-doping work should not be a voluntary profession for those who want to. It is downplaying the priority of our work, and we are tired of it."
