Olympian1010 7,483 Posted July 25, 2023 #233 Share Posted July 25, 2023 African Para Games are apparently going forward this year with only four sports on the program. Athletics, Powerlifting, and goalball have been dropped from the program due to unsuitable venues according to international standards. 14 NPCs have reportedly withdrawn from the Games as well Link: https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1139203/african-para-games-hit-by-withdrawals Josh 1 “Sport has the power to change the world.

Olympian1010 7,483 Posted September 29, 2023 #235 Share Posted September 29, 2023 IPC General Assembly voted to impose a partial suspension on the Russian Federation. They can’t keep in team events, nor will athletes compete as representatives of the country. Notably, the vote to re-impose a full suspension of membership only failed by about 10-11 votes. 60+ countries voted in favor, which is higher than I would have guessed. Definitely still a lot of anger with Russia for disrupting the Paralympics, doping, and waging war on Ukraine. Josh 1 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
