Oksana Slesarenko, captain of Russia's Wheelchair Curling team, has been voted the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) Athlete of the Month for February after leading her squad to the 2012 World Championship title in Chuncheon, Korea.
In honour of International Women's Day on 8 March, all of the finalists for the award were women.
Slesarnko paid tribute to her mother and daughter on the day, who she says have been her biggest inspiration throughout her career.
"My mother put her heart and soul into me, and my daughter has supported me during my entire sport career," she said.
