8 WHAT WAS ACHIEVED LAST 2 YEARS A good worldwide program A really poor regional sport program In para-sport less participants in the discipline In some para-sport big difficulty to go on doing regional event( swimming) The number of participants in Global Game sports has increased No new sports were able to reach the INAS standard POSITIVE ACHIEVEMENTS The good: 13 INAS sports (same in 2010) A recognized event with the Global Games. Regular programme of World Championship events. Clear event bid process in place Clear rules in sports Contracting procedure in place NOT SO GOOD : Regional events in only 1 region out of 5 Standard of events can vary considerably Some events poorly attended Calendar is not always coordinated with IPC Some events run under INAS name that do not observe eligibility rules Doping control not always available Poor relation with IPC and other IF

9 What can you do to help Get involved in INAS Set events for ID and open it to other countries (INAS sanctioned) Ensure that your athletes participate at INAS events. Promote INAS around your country and your NPC What can you do to help Increase the role of each sport director and appoint groups of people to run the discipline (one from each region) Build strong relationship between INAS and the IPC and IF Make sure INAS event s are part of the PG qualification route What can you do to help Set relation with scientist in order to set classification Build strong INAS event calendar far in advance with a coordination with IPC.
