Biathlete Taras Rad received silver to offer Ukraine their first medal on the Beijing Winter Paralympics.
Rad and the remainder of his team-mates travelled to China regardless of the Russian invasion of their nation, which started on 24 February.
The 23-year-old completed 17.5 seconds behind China’s Zixu Liu in the boys’s dash seated occasion.
But it was sufficient to offer him his second Paralympic medal after his center distance gold from Pyeongchang.
Ahead of the Games, Valeriy Sushkevych, the Ukrainian Paralympic chief, stated his workforce’s presence on the Games was a “image that Ukraine is alive” and that it was a “miracle” they made it to the competitors.
They have been warmly welcomed into the Bird’s Nest Stadium for Friday’s opening ceremony.
The Russian Paralympic Committee and Belarus have been banned from competing.
