The Rio 2016 Organising Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games welcomes all Paralympic Family to Rio de Janeiro and wishes you very successful and enjoyable Games. This guide is intended to provide brief information to the Paralympic Family who participates in the Games. PARALYMPIC FAMILY GUIDE - AUGUST 2016 6 2 Welcome Messages Dear friends, On behalf of the International Paralympic Committee (IPC), it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to Rio de Janeiro for Latin America’s first Paralympic Games. With around 4,350 athletes from close to 170 countries competing in 22 sports, these will be the biggest Paralympic Games to date. They will also be the most widely broadcast with over 120 TV channels set to show pictures to a record four billion cumulative viewers around the world. The growth in popularity of the Paralympics in recent years has been down to the ever-improving performances of the athletes. Paralympians are getting faster, stronger and more agile all the time and it is their accomplishments that have led the Paralympic Games to becoming the world’s number one sporting event for driving social inclusion. Without a doubt, Rio de Janeiro is one of the world’s most spectacular and beautiful cities. This Paralympic Family Guide will assist you during your time here as it provides all the information you need to know to ensure your stay in this breath-taking city is a memorable one. Remember during the Games, you can follow all the news and live results at www.paralympic.org and receive the latest updates at @paralympic. Finally, I would like to thank the Rio 2016 Organising Committee for their hard work and dedication in delivering this transformational event. Your time here will be unforgettable. Enjoy the Games Sir Philip Craven MBE President of the International Paralympic Committee PARALYMPIC FAMILY GUIDE - AUGUST 2016 7 Dear friends, Rio de Janeiro is looking forward to be taken over by the Paralympic spirit. Now it is our turn to witness the transformative power of sport and its ability to effect positive changes. The Rio 2016 Paralympic Games are a unique opportunity to celebrate diversity and reinforce its influence over every one of our actions. Organising the Paralympic Games made it possible for Rio to look at accessibility from a renewed perspective. We put all our efforts into delivering modern venues and inclusive services so that the city could welcome athletes and visitors with truly open arms. I would like to thank the International Paralympic Committee for their unwavering support. I am sure these are going to be excellent Games, and this could only be possible through collaborative work and a shared desire to host Paralympic Games that will further advance the Paralympic Movement. It is with great enthusiasm that we welcome the Paralympic Family to Rio. We have prepared this guide to make your stay in the city as pleasing as possible, aiming to attend to your needs with top-level services and provide a memorable experience to all involved.
