18 Jan 2008 09:02

On 17 January, at 2 p.pm. CET, the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) launched an embedded version of its web TV channel ParalympicSport.TV on its website www.paralympic.org.

By adding this new tool to its website, the IPC presents visitors parts of the exciting new program of ParalympicSport.TV. Just one click on the player and visitors are directly linked ParalympicSport.TV to see the full action. The new programme will, amongst others, include games from the 2007 IPC Ice Sledge Hockey European Championships in Torino, Italy.

ParalympicSport.TV does not only change its program but, after two years of operation, will also change its look. The re-launch is scheduled for February 2008.

The addition of a Flash video player is also part of the IWGA website's makeover. The new feature should be available on the home page in the near future.
