Equestrian - Games Officials’ Guide 02 WELCOME On behalf of the Tokyo Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, I am delighted to present the Equestrian Games Officials’ Guide for the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games. We have been working diligently to provide facilities, services and procedures which will allow everyone involved in the Games to safely achieve all three of Tokyo 2020’s core concepts: achieving personals bests, unity in diversity, and connecting to tomorrow. Included is information about: • processes relating to competition • key dates and personnel • competition format and rules • venue facilities and services, including maps • information about COVID-19 protocols, heat countermeasures, accreditation, accommodation, Games- time medical services, etc. This guide was produced in cooperation with International Equestrian Federation (FEI) and IPC Sport, and we trust it will assist you with your planning for the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games. Please rest assured that the Paralympic flame will not go out and will continue to burn in our hearts until the Games this summer. We look forward to welcoming you all with our famous omotenashi (Japanese hospitality) when you arrive in Tokyo in August 2021.
