Russian anthem played again at Paralympics after Germany athletes’ protest at Milan Cortina

The Russian national anthem rang again at the Paralympics on Wednesday, a day after Germany athletes appeared to stage a protest in the podium ceremony at Milan Cortina. Ivan Golubkov won Russia's third gold of these Games in the men's Para cross-country 10km interval start sitting. Anastasiia Bagiian then added the nations' fourth gold by winning the women’s Para cross-country 10km interval start classic for athletes with vision impaired.I am very happy," Golubkov said. "I spent 20 years to get to this point. I was preparing for every race and planned to show a good performance in every race, but this race was very smooth, and it went very well.”The anthem had played for the first time in more than a decade at the Paralympics on Monday, and again on Tuesday when Bagiian won the Para cross-country sprint classic.
