The decision of the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) to ban all Russians from the Rio Games, following the country's doping scandal has come as a surprise to Russian Paralympians who say they had little, if anything to do with any state-sponsored doping programme. In contrast to the IPC, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) chose not to hand Russia a blanket ban from the Olympic Games. Akzhana Abdikarimova is still training and hopes to make it to Rio. She spoke to 麻豆社's Natalia Golysheva.
