More than 30 National Paralympic Committees (NPCs) received a special boost in their efforts to develop winter Para sports after receiving LISKI alpine skiing and snowboarding equipment during the 2017 World Para Alpine Skiing Championships.
The generous gesture is part of the ‘Actualising the Dream project’ developed by the Organising Committee for the 2018 Olympic & Paralympic Winter Games (POCOG) in partnership with the Agitos Foundation, the International Paralympic Committee’s development arm. Following a series of successful workshops and training sessions held in 2016, the project took another step this year by equipping more than 30 nations with the necessary hardware to increase participation and knowledge on winter Para sports.
