A ceremony will be held in Hanoi on August 22 to send off Vietnam’s sports team of disabled athletes to the Beijing Paralympics.
The Paralympics will officially kick off on September 6 and close 11 days later. About 4,000 athletes from 150 nations around the world will compete for 471 sets of medals in 20 events.
Vietnam will be represented by eight athletes to take part in three events, weightlifting, athletics and swimming.
Vietnam’s Paralympics squad has doubled twice in the last eight years. Four years ago, Vietnam sent four athletes to the Athens Paralympics, up from a small squad of two sent to the Paralympics in Sydney in 2000.
