У 2021 році Національна паралімпійська збірна святкує 25 років перемог.

Перші ігри в яких брала участь Україна у 1996 році, принесли нам 7 нагород, серед яких одна золота медаль. А у 2016 році українські паралімпійці завоювали 117 медалей. Про це в ефірі Студії Obozrevatel розповів президент Національного комітету спорту інвалідів України, Валерій Сушкевич.

Він пояснив, що для здобуття таких результатів, спортсмени провинні постійно проходити кваліфікаційні і рейтингові змагання. Але під час пандемії виконати весь спортивний календар було неможливо, тому Україна дещо втратила позиції.

У підсумку, додав Валерій Сушкевич, наші паралімпійці завоювали 131 ліцензію і готові захищати спортивну честь України у Токіо.
