"The Winter Olympics featured some truly inspiring and jaw-dropping sporting events. However, the Paralympics are about to take things up a couple of notches further. From sit-skiing to para-snowboarding, to skiing without a leg to skiing without sight, the action in Sochi will be truly breathtaking. Here are just four of the events you can look forward to watching over the coming week. 1. Sit-ski  &amp;quot;The first thing you need is courage.&amp;quot; A beautiful event to watch, sit-ski features contestants taking to the slopes in a mono-ski. It is is actually a rare event that could potentially feature disabled and able bodied competitors taking each other on one day. There are different classes for the different disabilities, and one event features athletes who are only able to use their arms. 2.Para-snowboarding  &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s like motorcross on snow.&amp;quot; Snowboarding proved to be a massive hit at this year&amp;#039;s Olympics and the para version will make its Olympics debut in Sochi. How do you snowboard without a leg? You&amp;#039;ll have to watch to find out, 3. Para-alpine skiing  &amp;quot;The nature of our sport is that you ski to the point where you&amp;#039;re not in control.&amp;quot; Apparently the speed of para-alpine skiing is slower than at the Olympics, but this is still a hell of a lot quicker than anything you&amp;#039;ll have done on any ski holiday. The speed and thrill of the slopes are ramped up as atheletes without limbs race to the bottom. 4. Visually impaired skiing  &amp;quot;He has to trust me 100%.&amp;quot; To do any sort of skiing, you have to be pretty brave. But to take it on with reduced vision or when totally blind is taking things to a whole new level. The athletes ski down with a partner, who communicates to them via a blue tooth set. Would you dare give it a go? Ade Adepitans Winter Paralympics Guide: All You Need To Know Channel 4&amp;#039;s Paralympics coverage starts tomorrow (March 8).
