Very powerful.
Only a person who never gives up their life can shine.
I strongly think that the idea of the Refugee Olympic - Paralympic team is one of the answers to all the human crisis we are facing now.
This is where they can shine.
Sports let us go beyond boundaries.
非常に力強い映像。すでに人一倍の困難を乗り越えてきた選手たち。ここ東京で、温かく出迎えてあげたい。

They’ve seen the worst in the world. Now they’re here to be the best.
When a refugee athlete steps up to the starting line, there’s a story behind them. A story that represents the reality of over 80 million people around the world who have been forced to flee their homes. One that represents the resilience of refugees and the power sport has to rebuild lives.
The Refugee Olympic & Paralympic teams stand as a symbol of hope. We are proud to partner with @Olympics and @Paralympics to bring hope and change through sport to the lives of displaced people.
For them, in every way imaginable... it’s not the destination. It’s the journey.

「11年前,我失去了雙腳,我不知道能做什麼。但如果今天你問我,是否願意回頭,讓我的人生再回到原來的軌道,我的答案是:不!因為我的腳沒有讓我失去能力,而是逼我依靠自己的想像力,相信各種可能性」-美國隊殘奧會滑雪選手艾咪·普蒂 ( Amy Purdy) #PyeongChang2018 #WinterOlympics2018
“11 years ago, when I lost my legs, I had no idea what to expect. But if you ask me today if I would ever change my situation, I would have to say no. Because my legs haven’t disabled me, they have enabled me. They have forced me to rely on my imagination and to believe possibilities.” Introducing Team USA Paralympic snowboarder Amy Purdy!
With the Olympics kicking off I’d like to take this moment to answer some of your questions!!..........
Q: Many of you have asked me when you will see me compete at the “Olympic” Games.
A: I compete in the “Paralympic” Games, which is named such as they are “Parallel" to the Olympic Games, meaning side by side. It takes place right after the Olympic Games end. Basically we are the “adaptive” division of the Olympic Games. PS.. the Paralympic Team has not yet been announced and we are all waiting to hear who makes it!
Q: Many of you have asked me the difference between the “Paralympics” and the “Special” Olympics.
A: The Special Olympics and Paralympics are completely different organizations. According to their website, The Special Olympics is an organization who works with those with “intellectual” disabilities. The “Paralympic Games” showcase the talents of athletes with “Physical” disabilities like myself. The Paralympics are part of the Olympic Games and @teamusa . Both organizations are focused on giving the gift of sport to their specific community of athletes.
Q: Where will the Paralympics be held?
A: The Paralympics are held the same place as the Olympic Games, in Pyeongchang, South Korea from March 9-18 . So keep watching after the games!! We use the same Olympic Village, athletics venues etc.
Q: Will the Paralympics be broadcast?
A: Yes!! NBC will be airing 94 hours of the Paralympic Games so stay tuned!! I’m doing more Q and A on my insta story today so stop in and I’ll answer more of your questions! @teamusa @nbcolympics @toyotausa @usparalympics @bridgestonetires @cocacola
