International Paralympic Committee Governing Board To Discuss Tokyo 2020 Program

The Int'l Paralympic Committee governing board will meet in Berlin on Tuesday "to discuss which sports should be included" in the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic program, according to the BBC. Twenty-four sports are in the running for '20, including the 22 that will feature at Rio 2016 "together with para-badminton and para-taekwondo." A maximum of 23 sports "can be included" in the Tokyo program. The governing board "will review all the submitted applications and the management team's recommendations, and will then decide which sports should definitely be included in six years' time." Those sports not confirmed "will be asked to present additional information to the IPC addressing the issues identified in their applications" (BBC, 9/30).
