YANGON: Myanmar's para-athletes are in the final days of preparation in Yangon ahead of the 13th Asean Para Games, scheduled for Jan 20-26, 2026, in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand.
U Win Myint, vice president of the Myanmar Paralympic Sports Federation, said Myanmar's delegation will have 145 members, with 97 athletes competing in 11 sports.
"We've trained the athletes for nearly two years and provided equipment and support," he said, adding that medal winners will receive awards.
He said para-sports have also transformed lives.
"Many athletes once stayed at home and felt shy. Now they travel, compete internationally, and gain confidence," he said. - Xinhua
