“…The third important finding was the reduction in injuries reported in the sport of para alpine skiing from the Sochi 2014 Games (IR of 43.8 [95% CI 35.0 to 54.9]) to the Pyeongchang 2018 Games (IR of 23.1 [95% CI 16.5 to 32.1]). It is hypothesised that this reduction was due, in part, to the improved environmental conditions in Pyeongchang (mean temperature: −2°C) compared with Sochi (mean temperature: 9°C) and also to accelerated interventions made by the IPC and World Para Alpine Skiing federation in an effort to decrease the injury load in this sport 23 24. At the Sochi Games, modifiable risk factors for sustaining an injury in para alpine skiing were identified, including: (1) course design, (2) number of training runs permitted on the course and (3) the command and control structure between the technical and medical staff.…”

“…At the Pyeongchang Games, the Technical Committee implemented a series of changes to mitigate the risk of injury, including: (1) redesigning the course, (2) increasing the number of training runs, (3) having the ability to change event start times and (4) the development of a snow contingency plan. Education opportunities were also made available to all NPC medical and technical staff to increase the awareness and management of para alpine injuries in this setting 23. The incidence of injuries sustained during the Games’ decreased from an IR of 43.8 (95% CI 35.0 to 54.9) injuries per 1000 athlete days in Sochi 2014 to 23.1 (95% CI 16.5 to 32.1) injuries per 1000 athlete days in Pyeongchang 2018.…”

“…Im deutschen Team traten zu 2 Dritteln Männer an, die meisten Athleten starteten in der Klasse "stehend". Dies deckt sich in etwa mit der Zusammensetzung internationaler Teams, die bei den Paralympischen Spielen antraten [13][14][15].…”

“…Bei International wurden Präventionsmaßnahmen federführend durch das Medical Committee des IPC (Internationales Paralympisches Komitee) entwickelt. Dieses veranlasste unter anderem die Formulierung eines "Medical Codes", um die Sicherheit und Gesundheit paralympischer Athleten besonders zu fördern [15]. In diesem Rahmen wurde unter anderem mittels GPS-Analyse im Vorfeld der Paralympischen Spiele in Pyeongchang 2018 die Rennstrecke analysiert und modifiziert [15].…”
