All six members of the national para team and four coaches will represent the country in the 17th Paris Paralympic Games opening ceremony tonight at the Place dela Concorde to Champs-Élysées in the French capital.
“To ensure that the spotlight is firmly on the achievements of the Paralympic athletes, the values that they embody and the emotions that they inspire in us, Paris 2024 wanted to offer them a groundbreaking showcase by organizing the first Paralympic Games Opening Ceremony outside the confines of a stadium,” Paris 2024 president Tony Estanguet said in a statement.
To reach the pinnacle of the quadrennial global sports showcase for physically-challenged athletes is no joke, and the country’s “Sensational Six” are just among a select 4,350 athletes from 168 countries who will be vying for victory within the glamorous French capital in the next two weeks. “We would like to thank PSC Chairman Dickie Bachmann for fully supporting our Paralympians, allowing them extra time in France to acclimatize and adjust so they can do better and hold their own with the best in their respective sports,” Barredo said.
