Andrew Parsons, IPC President said: “The quality of nominations this year was exceptional, and I congratulate Penny, Zakia and NPC Iran. It is my pleasure and honour to know you and work with you.
“Leaders like Penny, rising stars like Zakia and committed members like NPC Iran show us that anything is possible in the Paralympic Movement, reminding us that greatness knows no limits and that representation is key in shaping a more inclusive and equal future.
“Change starts with sport, and we believe that sport has the power to break down barriers and foster inclusion, creating opportunities for all. For women with disabilities, sport is not only about competing on the global stage; it’s about empowerment, visibility, and equal access. Through sport, we honour strength, resilience, and the fundamental truth that every individual, regardless of their abilities, has the right to participate, excel, and inspire others.”
