IPC request for Athlete Biography information

As members of IPC, we would like to support and promote their request to produce Athlete Biographies for the London 2012 Paralympic Games. Please see the information below, and follow the link.

Athlete Biographies for London 2012 Paralympic Games

With the London 2012 Paralympic Games starting in less than two years, the IPC and LOCOG have reached an agreement to supply athlete biographies to the Games’ Info System. The IPC has contracted Infostrada Sports to research these biographies.

Infostrada is now starting to research the biographies using various tools, one of which is an online questionnaire, which they ask athletes to fill in.

The more information there is on an athlete the more interesting they become in the eyes of the media, and the more questions and stories will be generated about the athlete and the sport as well So it is in the athlete’s interest that their biography is full of accurate and current information about them and their sporting career.

The online questionnaire is available by clicking here
It would be great if you could kindly promote this link to the athletes of your sport and ask them to fill in the questionnaire.

If you have any questions about this project, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Kind regards
Eva Werthmann
