On October 22, the “Dragon Year Wheel BA” three-on-three wheelchair basketball promotional event kicked off in Guilin. Approximately 120 participants gathered, including representatives from five provinces—Shanghai, Guangdong, Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guangxi—as well as local teams, coaches, volunteers, and staff.
The event, organized by the China Disabled Persons’ Federation and hosted by the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Disabled Persons’ Federation, is scheduled from October 21 to 25. It is part of a national effort to promote public sports events, with a particular focus on encouraging participation in sports and fitness activities among individuals with disabilities.
The promotional activities include expert lectures, team exchanges, a wheelchair basketball exhibition match, a basketball experience class, and inclusive sports and fitness activities. The athletes participating are individuals with physical disabilities.
In recent years, Guangxi has organized various and engaging promotional activities focused on sports and rehabilitation for individuals with disabilities. In September, the region successfully hosted its first rehabilitation and fitness promotion event in Wuzhou, Beihai, and Liuzhou Luzhai, receiving widespread acclaim and recognition from the disabled community and their families.
