Tokyo Paralympic | The government only requires live broadcast of the opening and closing of the retired swimmers with intellectual disabilities looking forward to the live broadcast of the event

The Tokyo Paralympics will open on August 24. A total of 24 athletes with disabilities in Hong Kong will compete.

Retired Hong Kong team's mentally handicapped swimmer Tan Weiye hopes that the Hong Kong government can use public funds to buy the broadcasting rights and no time difference. He urges major TV stations to broadcast some of the events in real time, so that the public can feel the atmosphere of the events more personally. "The Paralympic represents Hong Kong. Efforts are not easy and less than mainstream athletes, but there is a

bit of hard work

without airtime.”

He believes that the struggle stories of Paralympic athletes can inject more positive energy into Hong Kong and also attract social attention. Disabled athletes provide support for retirement after Hong Kong wins glory, and promote barrier-free facilities to enable more people to participate in sports.

He also said that the Hong Kong delegation will surely be able to win medals at this Paralympic Games and look forward to seeing the crowds in shopping malls watching the live broadcast of the "gas gathering" moment and continuing the Olympic boom.

The Hong Kong team achieved a historic record in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. During the period, many citizens gathered in shopping malls to watch the live broadcast of the finals to "gather energy" for the athletes on the field.

The Tokyo Paralympics will open on August 24. A total of 24 athletes from the Hong Kong team will be shortlisted for 8 sports events, including archery, track and field, badminton, boccia, equestrianism, swimming, table tennis and wheelchair fencing. .

However, according to the Home Affairs Bureau, only 5 TV stations are required to broadcast the "essential clips" of the Paralympics every day, as well as live broadcast of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Paralympics.

People with mild autism and intellectual disabilities, and former swimmer Tan Weiye expects that the government can take the lead by using public funds to purchase the broadcasting rights and no time difference. My wish for many years: "One day, Hong Kong TV stations will broadcast the Paralympics!"

Tan Weiye has represented Hong Kong in a number of international swimming competitions. For example, he went to the Czech Republic in 1999 to participate in the first International Sports Federation for the Intellectually Handicapped World Swimming Championships. He won the silver medal in the men's 4-times 100-meter freestyle relay to help fight for the disabled. Qualified for the Olympic Games; went to Busan, South Korea to participate in the Far East and South Pacific Games for the Disabled in 2002, the predecessor of the Asian Games for the Disabled; retired in 2005.

Tan Weiye said that in the past, the Paralympic Committee could only provide an online broadcast link to watch the Paralympics live broadcast, but not every event was available, and there would be no Cantonese narration. He could not directly share the excitement after the Hong Kong representative won the card. Feeling, "The Paralympics represents Hong Kong. The effort is not easy and less than the so-called mainstream athletes, but without airtime (airtime), it is a bit hard." He believes that the recording and the highlights are not as good as the live broadcast. The audience has a stronger sense of participation, and I believe that the stories of the Paralympic athletes' dedication and struggle can inject more positive energy into Hong Kong.

He hopes that through real-time commentary, more detailed information can be provided to the audience, such as the Paralympic Games schedule rules, how they are different from healthy competitions, etc. In particular, "There are many people who don't know the Paralympic Games and the Special Olympics." There have also been criticisms and discussions about the term "Paralympics". The higher the audience participation, the more comprehensive they can understand through this event, which will help promote the community's attention to the support of disabled athletes for retirement after winning glory for Hong Kong, and the development of barrier-free facilities. More people are involved in sports, "Does it help them? It's all a reflection."

When asked which event he is most looking forward to, he naturally recommends swimming competitions as a swimmer. He is optimistic about Chen Ruilin and the last "Gold Medal Flying Fish" Deng Weile.

He understands that it may not be able to broadcast the event in real time throughout the day, but at least most of the finals can be produced during the noon time. I believe that the Hong Kong delegation will have a brilliant performance in this Paralympic Games. He hopes to see the crowds in the mall again to watch the live broadcast "Gathering Qi" Continuing the Olympic boom at this moment.
