2022 Paralympics to push equal access

Beijing to integrate facilities for Winter Games to benefit athletes and visitors with disabilities

With the 2022 Paralympic Winter Games to be held in Beijing in six years, the Chinese government has pledged to improve the barrier-free environment to benefit the lives of the disabled.

To prepare for the winter sports extravaganza for athletes with impairments in 2022, Beijing will build 100,000 more accessible facilities and train 100,000 fitness instructors for the disabled while launching a series of Paralympic education programs in the next six years, the organizing committee said on Monday at the 2022 Paralympic Winter Games orientation seminar.
