IPC drop sailing from Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games programme

:Headline: IPC drop sailing from Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games programme: ID:203269: from db_amp
The IPC drops sailing from the programme of the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games, while seven-a-side football also misses out.

The Royal Yachting Association has admitted that it is "hugely disappointing" for the International Paralympic Committee to drop sailing from the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games.

The sport has been taken away from the programme, as well as seven-a-side football, while badminton and taekwondo have been included for the first time.

A statement from the RYA said: "This is hugely disappointing news for the sport of disabled sailing worldwide, for British Sailing Team athletes who are already working hard towards Tokyo, and is a loss to the Paralympic Games itself as sailing provides a unique element to the sporting programme.

"We will be discussing with ISAF Disabled Sailing Committee as to how we might support them if there is any further recourse to be had, as we understand that there are currently only 22 out of a maximum possible 23 sports on the programme for Tokyo 2020."

More than 5,500 people have signed a petition calling for the IPC to reinstate sailing.
