Spain at the 2018 Winter Paralympics
Astrid Fina Paredes went to the IPC World Cup 2017 in La Molina, Spain.  She won two silver medals.  The World Cup was part of her training for the 2018 Winter Paralympics.  In February 2017, she went to the IPC Para-Snowboarding World Championships in Big White, Canada. She finished fourth in the snowboard slalom race and fifth in the snowboard cross race. In 2017, she wanted to go to the 2018 Paralympic Games and win a medal.  Her fear was she would get hurt.  This would make it difficult to race and get a medal.  She leaves for South Korea on 2 March 2018, with her first race on 12 March and her second one 15 March.
