From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Paralympic Winter World Cup is a biannual international multi-sport event where athletes with a disability compete.[1] The World Cup has been hosted in Sollefteå, Sweden since 2009. It is organized by the Swedish Paralympic Committee (SPC) in coordination with the International Paralympic Committee (IPC).[2][3][4]
