Voronchikhina's gold flies Russian flag high
The Straits Times
|March 11, 2026
It's so special... because it's my first Paralympic Games and it's my dream since I was a child.
-
Russia won its first Winter Paralympic gold medal under its own flag since 2014, as skier Varvara Voronchikhina was crowned women's super-G standing champion on March 9 in Cortina.
Despite Russia’s ongoing war with Ukraine, the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) has allowed six Russian athletes and four from their ally Belarus to represent their countries, accompanied by their national flags, rather than competing as neutrals.
“It’s so special for me because it’s my first Paralympic Games and it’s my dream since I was a child,” Voronchikhina told reporters after collecting her medal.
“And when I see my flag, it’s so special and amazing.”
The 23-year-old dedicated the win to “our whole country, which was rooting for us... to my family and loved ones”.
