SOCHI, Russia -- Ukraine will compete in the Winter Paralympics in Sochi despite Russias military moves in Crimea. The Ukrainian Paralympic Committee decided against boycotting the games, announcing a few hours before Fridays opening ceremony that its athletes would stay. The decision came after discussions between Ukrainian officials and athletes over whether to pull out in light of the crisis back home and Russias military takeover of the Crimean peninsula. "We are staying at the Paralympics," Valeriy Sushkevich, president of the National Paralympic Committee of Ukraine, said at a news conference. However, he added that the circumstances were far from ideal. "I dont remember a situation when the organizing country during a Paralympics started an intervention on the territory of a country taking part," Sushkevich said, according to the R-Sport agency. "I dont know what to extent the team can focus on the result now." The Ukrainian official said the team would leave Sochi if there is any escalation of military conflict. "I declare should this happen we will leave the games," Sushkevich said. "We cannot possibly stay here in this case." He said he met with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday night to discuss the situation and request peace during the games. Suskevich said he did not receive any guarantees but it was important that Putin agreed to listen. Putin and IOC President Thomas Bach are expected to attend Fridays opening ceremony. Several countries have decided not to send political leaders or dignitaries to the ceremony in protest of Russias actions in Ukraine. Ukraines decision to compete in Sochi was welcomed by the International Paralympic Committee. "We want sport to prevail and a full complement of teams to compete in what we are confident will be a fantastic Paralympic Winter Games," IPC President Phillip Craven said. "All week the IPC has been working closely with the Ukrainian Paralympic Committee in an effort to keep them here in Sochi. The talking point of Sochi 2014 needs to be great sport and great athletes, not global politics." The IPC has appealed for Russia to recognize the U.N.s Olympic Truce, which asks warring parties to cease hostilities during the Olympics and Paralympics. About 575 athletes from 45 countries are due to compete in the 10-day Paralympics. Five sports are on the program -- alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, biathlon, sledge hockey and wheelchair curling. Ukraine has entered 23 athletes for the Sochi Paralympics. It finished fifth in the medals table at the Winter Paralympics in Vancouver in 2010, with a total of 19 medals and five gold. Ukrainian athletes chanted "peace to Ukraine" as they apparently walked out of a flag-raising ceremony in Sochi on Thursday night. That is now under investigation by the IPC as a possible breach of rules banning political protests. "What were trying to do is gather the evidence, gather the transcripts and then we will see if any steps are necessary," IPC spokesman Craig Spence said. "If there was a political protest, obviously wed be disappointed by that because we have said all week that this is about sport, not politics."

The three-time world champion hasnt won since the German Grand Prix at the end of July and has now slipped 23 points behind Mercedes team-mate Rosberg in the race for the title.That four-race losing streak looked set to end in last Sundays Malaysian GP only for Hamiltons engine to catch fire 15 laps from the end of the race with the Briton more than 20 seconds clear of eventual race winner Daniel Ricciardo. But with five races remaining in this seasons championship, Herbert still thinks pre-race favourite Hamilton can overhaul his rival, starting with victory in this weekends Japanese Grand Prix.The F1 analyst said: Lewis would have won in Malaysia quite comfortably had it not been for his engine failure and, on a track where he won last year, Im expecting him to score a win this year as well.Hamilton has won back-to-back races at Suzuka, forcing Rosberg wide with a controversial first-lap overtake on his way to victory last year, and Herbert expects to see a similar attacking approach on Sunday.He might need that same aggression at the start as 12 months ago, but we know whats hes prepared to do to stay ahead, added the three-time former Grand Prix winner.Mercedes insist they have identified the fault with Hamiltons engine in Kula Lumpur, prompting Herbert to offer up Sky Bets odds of 11/10 for a much-needed win.ddddddddddddLast week, the F1 pundit tipped up Red Bulls Ricciardo to secure a podium finish and he went one better to land an unexpected victory in Sepang. Herbert expects more of the same at Suzuka and is backing the Australian to finish in the top three at odds of 8/11.He said: Christian Horner is expecting Red Bull to be strong in Japan and if they are, you can expect Daniel to deliver.His confidence and demeanour will be sky high after last weekends win, and somebodys got to keep the two Silver Arrows company on the podium, so why not him?Herbert also expects McLarens Fernando Alonso to continue his excellent form and is tipping the Spaniard to finish in the points at odds of 4/11 with Sky Bet.Alonso finished seventh last week, despite being forced to start at the back of the grid, and with Honda introducing a new power-pack they are expected to give a strong showing in front of the home fans.Herbert said: Fernando is picking up some really impressive points finishes at the moment, in fact hes making a habit of coming seventh. With the new upgraded Honda power unit and no penalties this week, I see no reason why he cant give Honda reason to smile this weekend.Johnny Herberts Charity tips this season are supporting Sporting Memories Stitched College Jerseys Cheap UCLA Jerseys NCAA Louisville Cardinals Jerseys North Carolina Jerseys Stitched Kentucky Wildcats Jerseys Stitched Alabama Crimson Tide Jerseys Cheap Basketball Wisconsin Badgers Jerseys Authentic NCAA Jerseys Store Wholesale Basketball NCAA Jerseys Cheap Duke Gear Stitched Alabama Jerseys Stitched Georgia Jerseys Cheap Clemson Jerseys Authentic Authentic Texas Jerseys Wholesale USC Jerseys Stitched Oklahoma Jerseys Stitched Ohio State Jerseys Cheap Notre Dame Gear UCLA Jerseys From China Cheap Louisville Jerseys Free Shipping Cheap North Carolina Jerseys Authentic Cheap Kentucky Jerseys Authentic Wisconsin Jerseys From China Cheap Michigan Gear Cheap Florida Gear Wholesale Arizona State Jerseys Cheap LSU Gear Cheap Auburn Gear Cheap California Jerseys Free Shipping Cheap Miami Jerseys Authentic Cheap Michigan State Gear Cheap Tennessee Jerseys Authentic Texas A&M Jerseys From China Authentic Wake Forest Jerseys West Virginia Jerseys From China ' ' '
