Post subject: Snowboarding Paralympics 2014 petition  PostPosted: Oct 31, 2011 - 02:11 PM

Hi

Can you please sign this petition to have snowboarding included in the
2014 Paralympics in Sochi, Russia. This means so much to my friends
who compete in adaptive snowboarding and disabled athletes all over
the world. It takes a few seconds to complete and could make a real
difference to having snowboarding included in the Paralympics.

Watch the video :

Thanks

Well we hope it's not too late... It was a recent decision to not include snowboarding so this is a last effort to change their minds. Thanks for signing!

Did you read the petition?

On August 18, 2011 The Russian Paralympic Committee REJECTED a proposal by the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) and the World Snowboard Federation (WSF) to include Para-Snowboard Cross Standing – Men and Women events in the 2014 Sochi Paralympic games.

Hardly several years too late. A lot of people have been working hard to have snowboarding included in the paralympics, including running events on the same courses as the Olympic qualifiers. It was a recent decision to not have it included, it was not decided several years ago. Read the petition, sign it and don't be so defeatist.
