MOSCOW, Mar 13 Chinese athletes win medals at Beijing Paralympic Games .Chinese Paralympic athletes won 18 gold, 20 silver and 23 bronze medals at the home Games. The second place was taken by the Ukrainian team (11-10-8). Canadians closed the top three (8-6-11). The Executive Committee of the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) on March 2, against the backdrop of events in Ukraine, allowed the teams of Russia and Belarus to participate in the Beijing Paralympics in a neutral status. However, the next day, the governing body of the IPC changed its decision to not allow Russians and Belarusians to the Games, explaining this by the threat of a boycott by a number of teams.
