Iran won't compete at Milan Cortina Paralympics due to travel safety

https://misryoum.com/us/us/iran-wont-compete-at-milan-cortina-paralympics-due/

CORTINA D’AMPEZZO, Italy (AP) — Iran will not participate in the Milan Cortina Paralympics because its only athlete set to compete can’t safely travel to Italy amid the intensifying Middle East conflict, the International Paralympic Committee said Friday. The announcement...

In the mid-2000s, I got my first #GoldMedal at #BCDisabilityGames in #PowellRiver - in intermediate #EnglishRiding #dressage. I went on to obtain bronze, silver & gold medals in regular BC Games - competing against non-disabled #equestrians. I moved up to national competitions & obtained 2 silvers & 1 gold medal. I was approached by Canadian #Paralympics Committee & the international #ParaEquestrian coach, after that. They wanted me to join #TeamCanada. We had 3 different meetings after & it resulted in me pulling out because I couldn't afford to pay for their training program. I was also too old to get funding help & had no one around to help me on that. It was a good life experience, while it lasted.

That was when I first learned how expensive it is to pursue higher levels of #parasports competition. Many of us just bowed out, even when we met qualifying markers - because we were too poor to keep at it.

You can see my leg braces because jodphurs are tight & grip to everything.

'We've become role models': French para athletes hail legacy of the Paris Games.

Three weeks before the World Para Athletics Championships open in New Delhi, dozens of stars from France's Paralympics movement gathered just outside Paris to celebrate the success of the 2024 Games – an event athletes say marked a turning point in how their sports are perceived.

I'm unable to keep doing my past #SledgeHockey #parasports because my osteoporosis specialist says it's too dangerous for me now because of lowered bone density & higher risk of not being able to recover from accidents. That really sucks because I loved playing/training in sledge hockey. I was one of only 3 women on #VancouverIsland involved in that #sport.

Two photos from my prior sledge #hockey life:

- in BC Games jersey with my hockey helmet on & giving a what are you saying look to my coach(out of view). It was the day he moved me off defensive line & put me on offensive line because I was too aggressive on defensive & kept slamming much larger male players straight into the walls to steal the puck 🏒🥅😆

- my first & only training camp with Canadian #Paralympics womens' sledge hockey team & coaches, in Vancouver. I'm wearing the number 12 jersey. I was the only woman on the island who got accepted into that training camp.

You may have enjoyed #JeanMichelJarre playing at the #paralympics closing ceremony. He is one of the greats of #electronicMusic with a string of masterpieces (personal favourites being Oxygene, Revolutions and Waiting for Cousteau). #Jarre is still creating music at 76, and recently came out with the fantastic #Oxymore. Not part of the Oxygene series but a tribute to #musiqueConcrete pioneer #PierreHenry. Quite experimental with even #industrial vibes. Strong recommend.

Waar is Willem? Belangenclubs balen van ontbreken koning op Paralympische Spelen. Maar de koning en zijn gezin zijn volgens Berkers van Wij Staan Op! een verbindende factor in het land en zouden juist een belangrijke functie kunnen vervullen op de Paralympische Spelen.

Just off a call with my sister. Collaborating with her on a #research project - trying to get another journal article out following the one we published a couple of years ago. If you asked me when we were younger if I ever thought I’d work with her professionally let alone make it work, I’d have laughed in your face. Goes to show that even I know how to grow up and accept that my sister is *sometimes* more clever than me 🤣 #siblings #academia #paralympics #mediastudies #tokyo2020
