Innsbruck 1988

The 1988 Paralympic Winter Games were again held in Innsbruck, Austria, from from 17 to 24 January. The Paralympics were not held at the same Olympic venue in Calgary, Canada, because of financial and recruiting difficulties. A total of 397 athletes from 22 countries took part. The USSR competed for the first time. Sit-skiing was introduced as another event in both the Alpine and Nordic competitions.
