25 Years Austrian Paralympic Committee

Content

The Austrian Paralympic Committee celebrates its 25th anniversary. 25 years of sporting excellence. 25 years of excitement. 25 years of inclusion. Today, Paralympic high-­performance sport is on a par with Olympic sport - in 1998, this was still a vision that many people made reality with their dedication, commitment and achievements. Nowadays, Austria is a top nation in Paralympic sport, even number 1 in the eternal medal table of the Winter Games. With their accomplishments and success stories, the athletes have contributed significantly to the greatest victory of the last 25 years: they have made top Paralympic sport visible with their sporting achievements, won the respect of society and ensured that today there is hardly a sporting field in which people with disabilities are not active. This we would like to celebrate together.
