The 2026 Winter Paralympic Games opened today in Milan. A Russian team is present for the first time since 2022 and was greeted by boos as they entered the arena. Teams from seven nations including Ukraine boycotted the ceremony in protest against Russia's participation. Here's more from @BBCNews.

@Bundesregierung
Den Wünschen schließe ich mich an.

Außerdem wünsche ich mir VON IHNEN, dass die Inklusion vorangetrieben und die immerhin schon seit 15 Jahren in Deutschland geltende UN-Behindertenrechtskonvention endlich umgesetzt wird!
Hohle Phrasen haben wir alle lange genug gehört.

In the mid-2000s, I got my first #GoldMedal at #BCDisabilityGames in #PowellRiver - in intermediate #EnglishRiding #dressage. I went on to obtain bronze, silver & gold medals in regular BC Games - competing against non-disabled #equestrians. I moved up to national competitions & obtained 2 silvers & 1 gold medal. I was approached by Canadian #Paralympics Committee & the international #ParaEquestrian coach, after that. They wanted me to join #TeamCanada. We had 3 different meetings after & it resulted in me pulling out because I couldn't afford to pay for their training program. I was also too old to get funding help & had no one around to help me on that. It was a good life experience, while it lasted.

That was when I first learned how expensive it is to pursue higher levels of #parasports competition. Many of us just bowed out, even when we met qualifying markers - because we were too poor to keep at it.

You can see my leg braces because jodphurs are tight & grip to everything.

I'm unable to keep doing my past #SledgeHockey #parasports because my osteoporosis specialist says it's too dangerous for me now because of lowered bone density & higher risk of not being able to recover from accidents. That really sucks because I loved playing/training in sledge hockey. I was one of only 3 women on #VancouverIsland involved in that #sport.

Two photos from my prior sledge #hockey life:

- in BC Games jersey with my hockey helmet on & giving a what are you saying look to my coach(out of view). It was the day he moved me off defensive line & put me on offensive line because I was too aggressive on defensive & kept slamming much larger male players straight into the walls to steal the puck 🏒🥅😆

- my first & only training camp with Canadian #Paralympics womens' sledge hockey team & coaches, in Vancouver. I'm wearing the number 12 jersey. I was the only woman on the island who got accepted into that training camp.
