New Zealand competed at the 2022 Winter Paralympics in Beijing, China, from 4 to 13 March 2022. The New Zealand team consisted of three alpine skiers, all men. Selection of the New Zealand team was the responsibility of Paralympics New Zealand.[1]
None of the New Zealand athletes participated in the opening ceremony, but Adam Hall was named as hāpai kara, a leadership role equivalent to flagbearer.[2] The New Zealand flagbearer at the closing ceremony was Corey Peters.[3]
The New Zealand team won four medals—one gold, one silver, and two bronzes—to finish 15th on the medal table.[4]
