Around two million tickets have already been sold for the Paralympic Games in Paris one day before the opening ceremony. “We have stadiums that will be full,” announced Tony Estanguet, head of the organizing committee.

He is optimistic that the remaining 500,000 tickets will be sold in the coming days. The London record of 2.5 million tickets sold could therefore be equalled in Paris.

“Incredible opening ceremony” expected

After the Olympics, the “party” will continue with the Paralympics, said IPC boss Andrew Parsons at a press conference: “It’s great to feel the atmosphere here. The athletes all seem very happy, everyone is very positive. We’ve only had positive feedback so far.”

Follow the opening ceremony at the Paralympics in Paris on Wednesday evening from 6:45 p.m. live on SRF two and in the SRF Sport app.

He expects “record-breaking games. There will be incredible sport.” He expects “without a doubt an incredible opening ceremony” on the Champs Élysées and Place de la Concorde.

Plea against war

Beforehand, he renewed his message of peace from the Winter Games in Beijing, without naming the aggressors: “We have not improved in this area. In fact, things have gotten worse in the world. That is why the Paralympic and Olympic Games are so important. The athletes here fight against each other for seconds and centimeters and yet live together peacefully and in a great atmosphere in the village. Why can’t that be done outside the village as well?”
