Just like the Olympic Winter Games, there will be one destination to watch every epic feat, every medal, every world record and every inspiring moment from the Paralympic Winter Games. With a team of nine Australians heading to Beijing, including six alpine skiers, two sighted guides and one snowboarder, the wintery action from this year’s Paralympic Winter Games will be unmissable.

7plus is the only place to watch up to ten channels of action, see what’s on when, keep up-to-date with the medal tally, create a watchlist to follow favourite events or catch up on highlights. The Paralympic Winter Games are just one click away on smart TV, mobile, tablet or computer.

Seven West Media Chief Revenue Officer and Director of Olympics, Kurt Burnette, said:

“The Paralympic Winter Games is among sport’s greatest events and we can’t wait to bring fans all the unmissable action over the next 12 days as Australia competes against the very best in the world.

“We are extremely proud to be the Home of the Paralympics across the screens of Seven and we will once again deliver an exciting, inspiring and unforgettable two weeks of winter action with nine incredible Aussie athletes ready to give it their all for a Paralympic medal.

“Seven’s exclusive coverage of the Winter Olympics reached 12.5 million people and attracted new and younger audiences to Seven. This helped secure Seven’s biggest ratings survey year start since 2018 and we look forward to introducing even more viewers to the incredible Paralympic Winter Games.”

Following Australia’s most successful Olympic Winter Games, Matt Carmichael said this year’s Australian Winter Paralympic team are ready for success.

“Paralympic sport is about pushing limits and proving what’s possible, that’s what our Australian team is all about,”

– he said.

“Preparing for Beijing in a pandemic has thrown in so many extra challenges, so much more time away from home, but every single one of our incredible athletes has taken it on.

“From our captains Ben Tudhope and Melissa Perrine to newcomers like Josh Hanlon, this team is full of talent and stories that all Australians can get behind.”

Australia’s Paralympic Winter flagbearer will be named on Wednesday, March 2.
