11/9/2008 17:59
Officials with the South African Sports Confederation and Olympic
Committee (SASCOC) yesterday praised the excellent organization of the Beijing
Paralympics.
The Chinese government attached no less importance to the
Paralympics than the Aug. 8-24 Olympics, said SASCOC second vice-president Mark
Alexander, who came to Beijing for the Olympics.
China fulfilled the pledges
for two equally brilliant Olympic Games, Alexander said.
People with physical
disabilities have always been one of the priorities of the Chinese government
and the importance it attached to the Paralympics is respectable, said SASCOC
member Dave van der Merwe.
The organization of the Games was just perfect and
the excellent performance and one after another new record also spelled out the
success of the Games, said Merwe.
