2014 Winter Paralympics Parade of Nations

During the Parade of Nations, at the opening ceremony of the 2014 Winter Paralympics, athletes from each participating country paraded in the Fisht Olympic Stadium, preceded by its flag. The flag was borne by a sportsperson from that country chosen either by the National Paralympic Committee or by the athletes themselves.

Parade order

All nations paraded in alphabetical order of the Russian alphabet except the host country, the Russian Federation, who entered last.
