Russian athletes booed as they march under their own flag at Winter Paralympics opening




Some spectators booed Russia’s athletes as they marched under their own flag in the opening ceremony of the Milan-Cortina Winter Paralympics Friday. The International Paralympic Committee in February lifted a long-running ban on Russian and Belarusian athletes competing under their own flags and anthems due to their role in the ongoing war in Ukraine.
