oandp.com reports that according to the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) and the World
Snowboard Federation (WSF), representatives of the two groups met in mid
July to sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to co-operate during
the 2010–2011 season to “further develop the sport of para-snowboard.”
The MoU also notes that the WSF and IPC may extend their agreement
through the 2013–2014 season.
“The memorandum of understanding is essentially a working cooperation
agreement for the 2010–2011 winter season," Danny Buntain,
para-snowboard chairperson at the WSF, told The O&P EDGE.
"The IPC has recognized that there is a need for some more sports in the
winter program, and they’re very interested in snowboarding. However,
our sport still has some areas to grow in before we can join.”
