The World Sailing has also ruled against the decision taken by the International Paralympic Committee... the International Federation will continue to work to support and give visibility to the Paralympic sport.

The Royal Spanish Sailing Federation shares the disappointment shown by the World Sailing for the decision of the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) not to include the candle in the program of the Paralympic Games in Paris 2024.

The adapted candle had already been deleted from Tokyo 2020 by, according to the IPC, not meeting the criteria of global reach... both the World Sailing and the Spanish have worked and will continue to work to enhance the adapted candle for the sake of future inclusion in the Paralympic program, according to federal sources.

"It is a difficult decision to understand; the candle is one of the most inclusive sports that exist and the Paralympic candle is a plus of overcoming and effort for those who dedicate their lives to this sport", said Julia Casanueva, president of Spanish... for Casanueva "it is essential to support sports development at all levels, starting with the most basic" and ensures that "the Federation will continue to help the sailing adapted for the Spanish athletes to participate in all competitions, not only those of a national character, but also in those international competitions organized by the World Sailing".
