Notes

Beijing 2022, Paralympic torch. The Paralympic torch, named “Flying”, shares the same structure and patterns as the Olympic torch – spiralling upward to resemble two overlapping fluttering ribbons. It features a gold and silver colour scheme to symbolise glory and dreams, while reflecting the Paralympic values of determination, equality, inspiration and courage. The lower section is engraved with “Beijing 2022 Paralympic Winter Games” in Braille. Donated by the OCOG
