International Paralympic Committee

Turkish paralympic athletes claimed 21 medals -- including five gold -- last week during international tournaments.     

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) and Allianz today announced that the insurer will join the "Worldwide Olympic Partner" (TOP) Programme in 2021.

A 39-year-old Paralympic athlete was set to face an investigating magistrate on Monday after fatally shooting a 47-year-old man who worked for him at an OPAP betting store managed by the accused in Moschato, southern Athens, on Friday.

The athlete claimed he was acting in self-defense, saying the victim threatened him and his family.

The government will disburse BGN 100 000 (EUR 51 045) to paralympic athletes, Prime Minister Boyko Borisov has said.
