IPC president: Beijing will change the way we deliver the Paralympics Xinhua 16 May 2021, 19:49 GMT+10 BEIJING, May 16 (Xinhua) May 16 is the 31st National Disability Day in China, and also marks the 100-day countdown until the start of the Tokyo Paralympic Games. On this day, International Paralympic Committee (IPC) President Andrew Parsons told Xinhua of his confidence in how Beijing will change the way that the Paralympic Winter Games is delivered, and how Tokyo will host the Paralympics as scheduled. I think it s a nice coincidence that the 100 days to go is the same day as National Disability Day in China, said Parsons, who participated with the Brazilian delegation at the 2008 Paralympics in Beijing. I think what we experienced in Beijing 2008 was exactly what we want to translate to the whole world, to change the view of societies towards persons with disability and change the mindset.
