A photo exhibition with 45 images from the Paralympic Games in Atlanta 1996, Sydney 2000 and Salt Lake City 2002 is presently shown in Bruges, Belgium.More than 2000 visitors came to see the exhibition in the first two weeks after the opening.

All images are taken by Lieven Coudenys, one of the two official IPC Photographers. John Teunissen, IPC Treasurer, opened the exhibition on behalf of the IPC on August 17. “Paralympic sport is elite sport, yet it has its own characteristics. The photos of Lieven Coudenys perfectly combine elite sporting performance with the Paralympic Spirit,”Mr. Teunissen said.

In this exhibition, Mr. Coudenys presents images of different Paralympic sports and of athletes with different disabilities. He not only gives an insight into Paralympic sport, but at the same time depicts true sporting heroes.

The photos will be donated to the IPC after the exhibition in Belgium and will be part of a travelling exhibition in the future. Organisations, which are interested in showing the exhibition, can contact the IPC Media and Communications Department for further information.
