Puerto Rico is hosting the second PARAPAN Athletes Forum, a meeting that brings together representatives of paralympic delegations from different countries, with 20 countries taking part in this edition to defend the rights and responsibilities of their athletes. Camila Haase, the forum’s vice president, said one of the objectives is to strengthen para athletics in Latin America and widen the opportunities for competition, connection and development that sport can generate in communities.
Puerto Rican athlete Yaimillie Díaz Colón said she seeks to make known the true meaning of inclusion and noted that much remains to be done in Puerto Rico.
