OTTAWA and TORONTO – CBC/Radio-Canada will be live streaming a package of Paralympic sport competitions, allowing viewers to cheer on Canada's top para athletes as they compete at key events between Paralympic Games.
Known as the Paralympic Super Series, the package of Paralympic sport competitions will be available as live streams via the CBC Gem app and cbcgem.ca, as well as on the CPC Facebook page, with select events available on the Radio-Canada Sports app and radio-canada.ca/sports.
The Super Series will offer over 50 hours of Paralympic sport coverage throughout the year, the most Canadian coverage ever offered outside of the Paralympic Games in terms of hours and number of featured events, plus will mark the first time that CBC has offered coverage of Para Alpine and Para Nordic events outside of the Paralympic Games.
The first event of the series will be the Para Alpine World Cup in Zagreb, Croatia from January 16-17, followed by the World Para Alpine Skiing Championships in Kranjska Gora, Slovenia and Sella Nevea, Italy from January 21-February 1.
"As Canada's Paralympic Network, we are proud to provide even more opportunities for Canadians to cheer on their homegrown Para athletes in a wider variety of sports," said CBC Sports Executive Director and Paralympics GM Greg Stremlaw, in the news release. "CBC/Radio-Canada is committed to sharing and supporting the stories of diverse Canadians, and our ongoing collaboration with the Canadian Paralympic Committee continues to allow us to shine a spotlight on these incredible athletes who represent the country on the world stage."
