The United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC) today announced the 240-member 2020 U.S. Paralympic Team, including six guides for visually-impaired athletes, that will compete at the upcoming Paralympic Games Tokyo 2020. Following the year-long postponement due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Opening Ceremony will take place Tuesday, Aug. 24, with competition beginning Aug. 25 and concluding Sunday, Sept. 6.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt its core, the Paralympic Games represent inclusivity and the infinite possibility of sport,\u201d said Sarah Hirshland, CEO United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee. \u201cThis group of athletes represents Team USA at their best.\u00a0 They are strong, resilient and ready to make you proud.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 2020 U.S. roster features 129 returning Paralympians, including three six-time Paralympians, 10 five-time Paralympians, 14 four-time Paralympians and 105 athletes making their Paralympic debut. The delegation holds a collective\u00a0233\u00a0medals from\u00a051\u00a0Paralympic champions.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter an unparalleled year, our incredible roster of 234 athletes and six guides are ready to show the world the athleticism and determination of Team USA on the Tokyo stage,\u201d said Julie Dussliere<\/strong>, United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee chief of Paralympic sport. \u201cWe can\u2019t wait to cheer them on as they live out their dreams in front of the nation and the globe.\u201d<\/p>\n

The squad is led by 23-time Paralympic medalist Jessica Long<\/strong> (swimming) and 17-time medalist Tatyana McFadden<\/strong> (track and field) each looking to further etch their name in history. Additional American stars and multiple medalists include Para-cyclist Oksana Masters, wheelchair racer Cheri Madsen and wheelchair tennis athlete David Wagner with eight medals each. Wheelchair racers Amanda McGrory and Raymond Martin, and paratriathlete Brad Snyder will also head to Tokyo with seven previous Paralympic podium appearances.<\/p>\n

The Paralympic program will feature 22 sports in contention, including the addition of badminton and taekwondo, which will make their debut in Tokyo. The third largest sporting event in the world, the Paralympic Games remains the world\u2019s biggest event for driving social inclusion.<\/p>\n
