8 Memorable Moments From the 2022 Winter Paralympics

Sled hockey is a mixed-gender sport; however, it's rarely ever played as such on Paralympic ice, according to NBC Sports. When Jing Yu took the ice in China's preliminary group-play match against Italy on March 8, she became just the third woman to ever play sled hockey at the Paralympics.

"There are many girls in China who would like to join the sport and there are already many who play it," she said, according to Olympics.com. "I am the representative of these female players in this team. I got the chance to play for the national team and be on this stage to show the power of Chinese women to the world."
