International Paralympic Committee (IPC) has officially opened
application process for sports to be included in the Beijing 2022
Paralympic Winter Games.
A maximum of seven sports can be included for the Games.
As part of the application process, IPC recognised International
Federations (IFs), along with those international federations with
sports on the PyeongChang 2018 programme, have until 1 March 2016 to
complete the Beijing 2022 Paralympic Winter Games Sport Programme
Application.
The IPC Governing Board will meet on 17 April 2016 to discuss all
applications and issue recommendations to each International Federation
A final decision on the programme will be taken by the IPC Governing Board on 5 September 2016.
Xavier Gonzalez, IPC Chief Executive Officer, said: “The aim of this
exercise is to ensure that the best possible sports in terms of
athletes, Paralympic values, quality of global competition and reach are
included in the Beijing 2022 Paralympic Winter Games. This is why we
are asking all sports to meet a number of conditions of eligibility for
inclusion.
“Although the IPC Governing Board has the option to include a seventh
sport for the 2022 Games, they also have the ability to remove sports
too. Our ultimate goal is to shape a competitive and attractive
programme that will inspire and excite the world.”
