The Manchester 2020 Para Powerlifting World Cup was the last qualification event to take place before the global coronavirus pandemic led to the postponement of the other qualification events and eventually the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games themselves. We are delighted that the UK will be welcoming back the para powerlifting community for the second of the new round of qualification events, to the same city and venue as in 2020. To be able to support athletes from across the world to continue to realise their Paralympic ambitions is a privilege and I am thoroughly looking forward to witnessing their performances in Manchester. Great Britain is a country which is safe for international athletes to travel, with special travel arrangements in place for elite international teams negotiated through the UK Government. We are working closely with our national and local public health officials to ensure a secure and Covid-safe event. The health and wellbeing of para powerlifting athletes is of utmost importance and will be a key factor throughout this event. Manchester is a city renowned for high class sporting events as well as being an international destination for sport, tourism and business.

Het inspireren en verbinden van deze grote groep is een uitdaging in een samenleving die steeds meer gericht is op het individu. Tennissers delen steeds meer hun eigen tijd in, onder hun eigen voorwaarden. De samenleving verandert en de KNLTB verandert mee. Als aanjager van tennis in Nederland wil de KNLTB zo veel mogelijk mensen meer laten tennissen en er voor zorgen dat zij dat ook blijven doen. Dit doen we door alle partijen die bij onze sport betrokken zijn te inspireren en te verbinden, door de zichtbaarheid van en de beleving van tennis te vergroten én daarnaast goed te luisteren naar de wensen en behoeften van onze tennissers en verenigingen. Met grote topevenementen, als het ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament en het Libéma Open, vergroten we de populariteit en zichtbaarheid van de tennissport. Door de inzet van verschillende communicatiekanalen brengen we de beleving rond het nationale en internationale toptennis voor het voetlicht en zijn we tevens gids in tennisland. Successen van tennishelden motiveren en inspireren, maar het werkt ook andersom: toptennis is gebaat bij een brede basis.

Iedereen doet mee.’ Dat is het parool van de KNLTB om méér mensen méér te laten tennissen. In 2019 hebben we met zijn allen hard aan die ambitie gewerkt en we hebben mooie resultaten geboekt. In dit jaarverslag lees je hoe we te werk zijn gegaan en wat dat heeft opgeleverd. Nederland is en blijft een groot tennisland, en dat mogen we met trots uitdragen. Niet alleen uit zelfbewustzijn, maar ook om nieuwe doelgroepen aan te spreken. Door tennis beter in de spotlights te zetten, maar ook door ons aanbod te vernieuwen, willen we ervoor zorgen dat iedereen meedoet. Niet elke positieve ontwikkeling is in cijfers te vangen.
