“We see sport as an indispensable part of everyone’s life – including the disabled,” says SKV Prague President Michaela Krunclová, who has been in a wheelchair since 2004 after a car accident. “We believe that the exhibition will bring more disabled people, but also sports assistants. He will travel our country until the end of this year for a wider scope, “he explains the goals of the exhibition.
