In preparation for the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games BWF is developing a new Para Fan Site. Aiming to raise awareness of the sport and its players, both BWF and the IPC are hoping to gain information on the Para-athletes themselves through sending out a player information form.
The form (linked here) provides you with all the data fields BWF (and the IPC) are looking to collect. As well as this, the image below is an example of how BWF is aiming for the Para athletes information to be presented on the new Para Fan Site.
