Paraplegic Events included in Bottrop Gala 2012 as Qualifying events for Paraolympics 2012

The Bottrop Gala 2012 will host paraplegic events for this first time. The 2 days international meeting, held July 6th/7th 2012, will include sprint and jump events for international paraplegic athletes to qualify for the Paraolympics in London. Mr.Dahlmann, CEO of the regional federation of paraplegic sports said: "We are very delighted about the cooperation. The Bottrop Gala is an international meeting of high standard and quality. Normally solely paraplegic sport events are not well attended by spectators, but the inclusion of the events at the Bottrop Gala will also give our athletes the perfect atmosphere to achieve their best and perform well." Meeting Director André Thomson added: "The Jahnstadium in Bottrop is one of the few stadiums in Germany that is specially designed for paraplegic athletics. We want to share our excellent atmosphere and take paraplegic sports to the hearts of the spectators."
