Eight years ago, Peng Yuanyuan was the flag-bearer of Team China at the closing ceremony of the 2010 Vancouver Paralympic Winter Games, having finished fifth in the women's 5 km classic style standing event - China's best Winter Paralympic performance then.

After an eight-year absence from the Paralympic Winter Games, Peng, 31, was back with the flag in her hand - the Paralympic veteran led the Chinese delegation into the stadium at the opening ceremony of the Pyeongchang Paralympic Winter Games on March 3, in South Korea.

"I'm very proud to be the flag-bearer. It's such an honor," says Peng. "This is my third Paralympics."
