周六，视障高山滑雪运动员瓦尔瓦拉·沃龙奇基娜（Varvara Voronchikhina）在女子站姿组速降比赛中获得铜牌，为俄罗斯赢得自2014年以来首枚残奥会奖牌。
俄罗斯运动员在米兰科尔蒂纳冬季残奥会中重新以本国国旗身份参赛——此前因该国兴奋剂违规和军事冲突，他们多年来只能以中立运动员身份参赛。
“对我们来说，没有国旗的日子真的太久了，我非常高兴，我的整个国家和所有队友也同样感到高兴，”沃龙奇基娜表示，她有望在米兰科尔蒂纳的其他比赛中冲击金牌。
自2022年俄乌冲突以来，俄罗斯运动员在重大全球体育赛事中首次有望在金牌得主的颁奖台上奏响国歌。俄罗斯最初因国家支持的兴奋剂计划被禁赛，冲突爆发后制裁仍在持续。

周六另有三名俄罗斯运动员参赛——残奥单板滑雪选手菲利普·谢博（Filipp Shebbo）、德米特里·法捷耶夫（Dmitrii Fadeev）和残奥高山滑雪选手阿列克谢·布加耶夫（Aleksei Bugaev）。
俄罗斯国旗在周五维罗纳的开幕式入场式上正式回归，这是自2014年索契冬奥会以来首次在残奥会上升起，也预示着2028年洛杉矶夏季奥运会前可能全面重返奥运大家庭。
自2016年里约热内卢夏季奥运会以来，奥运会和残奥会均未在赛事中播放俄罗斯国歌。
维罗纳竞技场在俄罗斯运动员入场时响起了一些嘘声。
沃龙奇基娜称俄罗斯运动员在意大利受到了各方的友好对待。
“非常好，”她说，“村里的一切都很好，氛围融洽，条件优越。”
沃龙奇基娜不愿谈论可能与乌克兰运动员同场竞技的话题。
俄罗斯此次派出6名运动员参加米兰科尔蒂纳残奥。国际残奥委会向俄罗斯运动员发放了外卡参赛资格，这一决定令乌克兰及其他一些国家不满，这些国家周五抵制了开幕式。
Para alpine skier wins Russia its first Paralympic medal in 12 years

Visually impaired Para alpine skier Varvara Voronchikhina won Russia’s first Paralympic medal since 2014 on Saturday by taking bronze in the women’s downhill standing competition.
Russian athletes are back competing under their own flag in the Winter Paralympics at Milan Cortina — after years of having to do so as neutral athletes because of the country’s doping violations and military conflicts.
“For us, it’s a really long time when we (were) without (the) flag, and I’m really glad and all my country and all my teammates, we (are) glad also,” said Voronchikhina, who is expected to be competing for the gold in other races at Milan Cortina.
Russia’s national anthem could be played for gold medalists for the first time on the stage of a major global sporting event since the invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Russian athletes were initially banned because of a state-sponsored doping program, and the sanctions had continued after the invasion.

Three other Russian athletes were competing on Saturday — Para snowboarders Filipp Shebbo and Dmitrii Fadeev, and Para alpine skier Aleksei Bugaev.
The Russian flag made its official return during the nations parade in Friday’s opening ceremony in Verona, marking the first time it was flown at the Paralympics since the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, and signaling a possible full-fledged return to the Olympic circles ahead of the 2028 Summer Games in Los Angeles.
The Russian national anthem for a gold medal win has not been heard at any Olympics or Paralympics since the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Summer Games.
There were some boos heard at the Arena di Verona when the Russian athletes entered the stage during the parade.
Voronchikhina said the Russians have been treated well by everyone so far in Italy.
“It’s really good,” she said. “And in the village all good and good atmosphere and good conditions.”
Voronchikhina did not want to talk about possibly competing against Ukrainian athletes.
Russia arrived at Milan Cortina with six athletes. The International Paralympic Committee gave wildcard entries to Russian athletes, a decision that upset Ukraine and a few other nations that boycotted the opening ceremony on Friday.
