2020 NEW ZEALAND TOKYO 2020 PARALYMPICS GAME MINATURE SHEET M/S - MINT - MNH

Ignited by top Para athletes and fueled by millions upon millions of spectators around the world, the Paralympic Games drive awareness and social inclusion, encouraging a world without barriers for disabled people and transforming society.

Paralympics New Zealand (PNZ) is the National Paralympic Committee for New Zealand and a member of the International Paralympic Committee. Spirit of Gold is a term to describe the dual purpose of PNZ: ‘gold’ to recognise its high-performance credentials and ‘spirit’ to represent caring for and inspiring communities. It is also a way of describing a Paralympian: the unique mix of talent, determination and heart that drives success on the world stage and provides inspiration to the next generation.

Paralympians will once again take to one of the greatest stages in the world between 24 August and 5 September 2021 for the rescheduled Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games. Through their amazing successes, Paralympians are incredible role models, challenging societal perceptions of disabled people worldwide.
