As the opening of the Tokyo Paralympic Games approaches five days later, the chairman of the IPC = International Paralympic Committee responded to JNN’s independent interview, saying, “Even if the infection situation in Japan worsens in the future, the tournament can be held safely.” He emphasized the effectiveness of the Games’ corona measures. IPC Parsons Chairman “Even if the number of infected people in Tokyo worsens, the Paralympics can be held safely because we have a correlation between what happened in the Paralympic bubble and in the outside world. “I’m confident that there isn’t one.” IPC Chairman Parsons responded yesterday to JNN’s independent interview from an isolated hotel in Tokyo, saying, “I’m thinking of canceling the Games even if the infection situation in Japan worsens during the Games. There is no such thing, and it can be held safely. ” In addition, regarding the playbook that summarizes the infection control measures of the Games, he was confident that “it was proved to be effective through the Olympics”, and “the rules are thoroughly enforced so as not to adversely affect the Japanese people, and there are violations. If you do, you will be penalized immediately. ” On the other hand, what appealed most strongly was the significance of the tournament. IPC President Parsons “By watching the competition, we can see that there is nothing impossible for people with disabilities. Disabilities do not limit the possibilities.” The Paralympic Games are diverse. I especially think of the children, who are the only spectators, as it will be a big step towards a society that recognizes them. IPC Parsons Chairman “When the children who watched the game grow up and take on the role of Japanese society, we will be able to create a society where more diversity is recognized.” 4,400 athletes from about 160 countries and regions will participate in the event.
