Ukraine crisis: What's the impact on sport?

BBC World Service - Sportshour, Ukraine crisis: What's the impact on sport?

We look what impact the conflict between the Ukraine and Russia has had on sport.

On this week's Sportshour with Caroline Barker, we speak to the President of the Ukrainian Paralympic Committee, Valeriy Sushkevych, about the tensions at the Russian border and how this is affecting the countries athletes ahead of the Winter Paralympics in Beijing. 

Plus, we’ll hear from Jack Jablonski who was an aspiring ice hockey player, who suffered a terrible spinal injury ending his chances. Despite his injury, he’s now working for a professional ice hockey team in the US.
