Our athletes will take part in training camps in para-athletics and para-swimming, which will be held respectively in the cities of Auxres (170 kilometers from Paris) and Agen (720 kilometers from Paris).
Upon arrival at the training sites, our athletes will undergo acclimatization, necessary wellness activities, and complete the final stage of preparation for the responsible Paralympic competitions.
Recall that the XVII Paralympic Games will be held in Paris from August 28 to September 8. Uzbekistan will be represented at the Paris Games by 65 athletes who have received 113 licenses for the Summer Paralympic Games for athletics, swimming, judo, powerlifting, canoeing, rowing, taekwondo, shooting and cycling. These results were achieved thanks to the attention paid by the leadership of the republic to the development of the Paralympic movement, the organization of the training process taking into account the physical condition of each para-athlete.
On August 13, a solemn ceremony of sending off the sports delegation of our country to the XVII Paralympic Games in Paris took place at the Museum of Olympic Glory in Tashkent. The Prime Minister of Uzbekistan Abdulla Aripov took part in it.
