In a recent decision the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) not to include sailing on the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games sports programme shocked the international sailing community. The news was an enormous disappointment for the sport of sailing worldwide, in our country and for our Australian Sailing Team and Squad athletes who are working hard, not only towards Rio 2016, but also towards Tokyo 2020. Australian Sailing will now work together with ISAF and the 139 Member National Authorities (MNAs) to fight for sailing to be reinstated at the Paralympic Games.
“Sailing is the only Paralympic sport that allows quadriplegics, such as myself, to compete against much more able athletes on an even and fair platform. And to take this opportunity away from future athletes in my situation, or worse, is a very disappointing decision.” dual Paralympian and 2012 London Gold Medallist Daniel Fitzgibbon commented.
