Tomorrow, the Paralympic Games begin in Paris, where Sweden has several good chances for medals. On Tuesday afternoon, Sweden’s standard carrier was presented at the opening.
Dressage rider Louise Etzner Jakobsson will receive the honorable mission. The 64-year-old has a long and successful career behind her and Paris will be her third Paralympics.
– I think the biggest thing you can do for your country is more than winning. It is an amazing honor. I had no idea about this. It was very surprising when I got the call and it was explained to me. It will be wonderful, she tells SVT Sport.
After a riding accident in 2011, Etzner Jakobsson suffers from brain fatigue and has weakened activity on the left side of the body.
SVT will broadcast the opening ceremony starting at 20:00 tomorrow. This you can find all the broadcast times of the Paralympics.
