The technical director of the Royal Moroccan Federation of Sports for People with Disabilities, Said Mrini, said that the morale of Moroccan athletes is high and that they are determined to achieve good results during the 17th Paralympic Games in Paris (August 28-September 8).
The Moroccan sports delegation reached the Olympic village last Wednesday, where it is staying in good conditions before the start of training for para-athletes according to a program established by the technical commission, in preparation for the competitions scheduled from Thursday, Mr. Mrini said in a statement to MAP.
He stressed that the medical staff accompanying the Moroccan sports delegation has also started its work within the Olympic village, where a space has been reserved to carry out periodic examinations of the athletes, monitor their state of health and supervise their nutritional program.
The national technical framework also praised the efforts made by the administrative commission accompanying the Moroccan delegation to meet the logistical needs of Moroccan athletes in coordination with the organizing committee of the Paralympic Games.
Preparation for this global event took place in good conditions, both inside and outside Morocco, thanks to the resources made available by the Ministry of National Education, Preschool and Sports to sports federations to enable them to prepare their athletes in the best conditions, he recalled.
Morocco is taking part in the 17th Paralympic Games with a delegation of 38 athletes (24 men and 14 women) in the athletics (motor and visual impairment), wheelchair tennis, para powerlifting, para taekwondo, para road cycling and blind football events.
