Madagascar celebrates a quarter-century of Para sport

An IPC feature published in April 2014 looked ahead to Madagascar’s 25-year Para sport milestone in May. It recalled an early public wheelchair basketball demonstration and the involvement of Malakia Willy, a pioneering player whose club later won consecutive Indian Ocean titles and national championships from 2011 to 2013. National competitions in several sports were planned for 2014. The story connected the sport’s early visibility with sustained club achievement, while presenting that year’s proposed championships as plans rather than completed events.
