Beijing, Sept. 27 (Xinhuanet) -- China will initiate such Paralympic sports as wheelchair rugby, equestrian and sailing after the Athens 2004 games.

    Zhao Sujing, executive secretary-general of the China Paralympic Committee(CPC), says the committee has sent a special task force to Athens to collect information on the sports and development plans would be worked out so that these sports be soon introduced in China.

    China also did not compete in wheelchair basketball and boccia in Athens due to failure to qualify for these sports in the Athens games.
