Xinhua News Agency:

My question is for Ms. Zhao. This year, we will host the Hangzhou Asian Para Games, and next year, there will be the Paris Paralympic Games. How will the China Disabled Persons' Federation prepare for these two events? Thank you.

Zhao Sujing:

Thank you for your question. Your issue is a key focus for our consideration and arrangement at the China Disabled Persons' Federation. Among the 22 sports in the Hangzhou Asian Para Games, 19 are qualifying events for the Paris Paralympic Games. Therefore, we are simultaneously preparing for both Games. Firstly, the China Disabled Persons' Federation has established leading groups for both the Hangzhou Asian Para Games and the Paris Paralympic Games, coordinating the preparation work for both events. Second, we are also considering these two Games in organizing training and participation in international sports events. For example, some international sports events are qualifying games to earn points for both Games, and these events are given priority in our planning. At the same time, we are also conducting intensive training for common events of the two Games concurrently. Third, through our preparation and participation in the Hangzhou Asian Para Games, we will further select talented and excellent athletes to actively prepare for the Paris Paralympic Games next year. We believe that the Chinese sports delegation will achieve success in both sports competition and sportsmanship not only in the Hangzhou Asian Para Games but also in the 2024 Paris Paralympic Games. Thank you!
