After hard discussions and analyses of the current COVID-19 situation and also with respect to majority recommendations, we inform you herewith, that the EPC Executive Board has adopted the final decision to postpone the EPYG 2021 to the year 2022 after the Beijing Winter Paralympic Games 2022.
At the moment, at a time which is a very difficult period for sport, caused by the worldwide COVID-19 outbreak and the confirmed IPC´s decision to postpone the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games, as well as many World and European Championships to the year 2021, we believe that it is the right decision.
