first time and attended the two-day meeting that also included Venue tours.
Focusing on various
aspects of Games delivery, the attendees were briefed about the outline of the
Games and the Athletes Village through various presentations.
Prior to the
meeting, the delegation visited two important venues – Nagoya City Mizuho
Athletic Stadium and Wing Arena Kariya, the venues for Para Athletics and
Wheelchair Rugby, a sport included for the first time in the history of the
Games.
An expected
3600-4000 athletes from the 45 Asian National Paralympic Committees will
compete in 19 existing venues that are in or near Aichi-Prefecture. This will be the fifth edition of the Asian
Para Games, which is the biggest Para sport event after the Paralympic Games.
