Afghan athletes to compete in Tokyo Paralympics
International Paralympic Committee spokesman Craig Spence holds a press briefing at the Tokyo Paralympic main press center on Aug. 29, 2021, as two athletes who evacuated from Taliban-controlled Afghanistan arrived in the Japanese capital to compete in the sporting event. "Both athletes expressed their sincere gratitude for their safe evacuation from Kabul, and the opportunity to fulfill a life-long dream of attending a Paralympic Games," Spence said. After arriving in Paris on Monday, Khudadadi and Rasouli "expressed a strong aspiration" to participate in the Paralympics, Spence said, adding that they were tested twice for COVID-19 before they left for Tokyo and were screened once again and tested negative after touching down at Haneda airport.
