The Sochi 2014 Paralympic Winter Games take place 7-16 March

According to the Organising Committee Sochi 2014 has given Russia a unique chance to change for the better.

The top priority for Sochi 2014 is the creation of a barrier free environment in the host city ensuring that everything being constructed for the Games – transport, roads, sporting and public facilities – will be accessible, and act as a blueprint for the rest of Russia for future years.
