Two Afghan athletes have arrived in the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Village, following their safe evacuation from Afghanistan last weekend, the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) confirmed in a statement on Saturday.
Zakia Khudadadi and Hossain Rasouli left Afghanistan last weekend and spent a week training in Paris, before being transported to the Paralympic Village, according to the IPC statement. The news comes after the Afghanistan Paralympic Committee said both athletes would be unable to attend this summer's Games, due to the country's fall to the Taliban earlier this month.More Related News
