Days after postponing the 2020 Tokyo Games, Olympic, Paralympic and local organizing officials have agreed to new dates for the Games of the XXXII Olympiad.
The Olympics will run July 23 through August 8, 2021 and the Paralympics will run August 24 through September 21. Both events will remain in the Japanese capital and will retain the Tokyo 2020 branding.
Fort Wayne has a deep connection with the Paralympic Games through the sport of goalball. Turnstone's Center For Goalball Excellence has served as the home for the U.S. men's team since 2015 and Team USA women since 2017. Turnstone was designated an official U.S. Paralympic Training Site in May of 2018. And the Summit City hosted the International Blind Sports Federation Goalball & Judo Regional Qualifier in the Summer of 2019.
The women qualified at the Fort Wayne qualifier, while the men later qualified during the Parapan American Games later that summer.
The men won the Silver Medal at the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games.
Parkview Sports Medicine is proud to be the official sports medicine provider of the men's and women's goalball teams.
