The 2020 Macau Sports Day for the Disabled was held on Sunday “with a lively and harmonious atmosphere,” according to its three organizers, the Macau-China Paralympic Committee & Macau-China Recreation and Sports Association for the Disabled, Macao Special Olympics and Macao Deaf Association.
According to a statement from the Macau Sports Bureau (ID), the Macau Sports Day for the Disabled is primarily designed to encourage people with disabilities to practice more sports, keeping them physically and psychologically healthy.
However, the ID stressed that the Macau Sports Day for the Disabled also serves to highlight the problems experienced by handicapped people, helping to build knowledge within society and raise public awareness. This serves to help the disabled better integrate into larger society, organizers said.
For this year’s event, there were nine recreational sports games and three experiencing zones for physical fitness testing in this event. The Sports Day allows the physically challenged, their families and the public to enjoy sports together. DB
