Behind the scenes of the 2018 Paralympic Winter Games Opening Ceremony


A photo collage gives impressions of life behind the scenes of televised Paralympic sport...
Our small group of volunteers has been in awe of the talented performers, production staff, planners, engineers, contractors, architects, landscapers, security detail, vendors, press corps, drivers, food service, hotel managers, housekeeping, maintenance and organizers of the 2018 Paralympic Winter Games.
There is much to do by thousands of hearts and hands before athletes and coaches arrive for competition, insuring successful Games. We appreciate the opportunity to be of service, promoting Peace through Sport!

Volunteers and athletes board buses for transport to and
from functional areas and arenas
Korean police mounted and marching perform vital security service

Snow removal is a continuous process, insuring access and safety for all
Planners chose designers and artists to make Stadium Park come alive!
And more snow removal in Olympic Stadium!

Serving meals to thousands of volunteers, security detail, vendors and
paid staff is a huge undertaking!
