Sweden is participating remotely in the opening of the Paralympics, which several countries are boycotting due to the inclusion of Russian and Belarusian athletes.
In the wake of a complex backdrop involving doping scandals and geopolitical tensions, Sweden has opted for a remote participation in the opening ceremony of the Paralympics, which is taking place in Verona. This year's event sees the return of Russian and Belarusian athletes participating under their flags, a decision that has sparked international controversy and led several countries, such as Ukraine, Finland, Estonia, and Latvia, to boycott the ceremony. The opening kicked off with a light show and followed by traditional music and the presentation of national flags, despite the absence of certain nations.
