Of course she was there, there's just no pictures of her. Sadly the Paralympics also doesn't draw as much media attention as the Olympics does, so there's not the same amount of coverage.
Already this past Thursday, 9 March, Crown Princess Victoria opened the exhibition ”Un mondo a misura di ogni bambino” (Fun for challenged kids) which is a travelling exhibition of around 50 Swedish companies featuring all sorts of help utilities to be used in sports and leasure for disabled people.
I've also read somewhere that the Crown Princess was scheduled to attend some kind of reception for the Swedish Paralympic delegation (at the Honorary Consulate in Turin or if it was at the Embassy in Rome).

Thanks, GrandDuchess for the information.
But it is pity for us, that we see no pictures of her by the each events (opening the exhibition, you tell us and reception of the Swedish Delegation).
I hope, by the games today there are reporter and photographer!
Fine weekend for you and all the others.

Finally!
Thank you, Yennie, for posting the very first pics from the paralympics.
I think it is not only for us a pitty that there is not more media coverage. For the athlets it is a pitty, too. They do great things and they need much more support from the public and the media.
Nevertheless it is great to sea Victoria finally in Turin! :)

A few days old - but great - news!

HRH Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden Joins IPC Honorary Board
Torino, Italy – Today, the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) announced that Her Royal Highness (HRH) Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden has accepted the IPC’s invitation to become a member of the IPC Honorary Board. She joins HRH Grand Duchess of Luxemburg Maria Teresa and HRH Princess Margriet of the Netherlands as the third member. HRH Crown Princess Victoria has therefore agreed to be an ambassador for the Paralympic Movement, helping the IPC to disseminate the positive values and message of the Paralympic Movement to as wide an audience as possible.
"I am very pleased to have the possibility to support the Paralympic Movement. It makes a big difference, showing the great value of sports as a way of getting together across all borders. When I visited the Paralympic Games in Athens in 2004, I was deeply impressed by the wonderful spirit and great results," stated HRH Crown Princess Victoria.
Said IPC President Sir Philip Craven: ”HRH Crown Princess Victoria has already shown her support of the Swedish Paralympic Committee on several occasions, also joining in the Paralympic School Day that took place in Sweden last year. I am confident that she will show the same support in the future.”

This award is the world’s largest for children’s and youth literature, and the second-largest literature prize in the world. The winner of 2006 is Katherine Paterson from the USA.

Today Aftonbladet has an article of Victoria supporting the "Pink Ribbon Campaign" by pushing a button that turned the Stockholm Globe arena pink, to highlight the fight against breast cancer. According to the article the Crownprincess has also "examined" herself for signs of cancer, "something that all women should do" she says.

It's amazing how much Victoria and Carl Philip resemble one another. She looks great and I must say that I love her shoes.
BTW, Dennism you crack me up.
