Six invalid sportsmen from Armenia are going to leave for Salt Lake City to take part in the Winter ParaOlympic Games. ParaOlympic Games are games for invalids and are carried out at the same place just after the Olympic Games are over.

The sportsmen are from the ''Pyunik'' invalids' union mountain-skiers' team. They will carry out preolympic coaching for 10 days in Utah [USA].

The team members were supported by the local Armenian community as well as the Armenian Government that set aside 15 mln. drams for bearing the whole of the cost. On the 3rd of March the Armenian National ParaOlympic Committee delegation of 10 members will leave for Salt Lake City as well.
