(Central News Agency reporter Cao Yayan, New Taipei, 30th) The National Games for Persons with Disabilities will take place on May 23rd, and today the torch was lit in Bali, marking the prelude to the event. The New Taipei City Sports Department is also calling on the public to participate in an online torch relay, breaking spatial limitations to spread the spirit of sportsmanship, with prizes such as Apple laptops available.
The 2026 National Games for Persons with Disabilities will be held in New Taipei City from May 23rd to 26th. The torch lighting ceremony was held tonight at Bali Wedding Plaza, where New Taipei City Mayor Hou Yu-ih, Sports Department Chief Secretary Lin Pei-chun, Tokyo Paralympics flag bearer and tennis player Zou Shao-yu, and 2024 National Games for Persons with Disabilities table tennis men's doubles gold medalist Wang Hao-xin jointly lit the torch, kicking off the event.
Hou Yu-ih stated that the torch lighting ceremony not only symbolizes the opening of the prelude but also represents hope, courage, and dreams, which will be transmitted from New Taipei City to all parts of the country. This year, the torch lighting ceremony was specially chosen to be held at Bali Wedding Plaza, overlooking the new landmark of northern Taiwan, the Danjiang Bridge, making the lighting of the torch in a venue that combines natural scenery and urban imagery particularly meaningful.
The Sports Department announced that this year's Games will feature the "Online Torch Relay" for the first time, inviting people across Taiwan to participate in the "AI Torchbearer" event, breaking the limitations of time and space to become online torchbearers and spread the spirit of sportsmanship. Simultaneously, the "LINE Torch Relay for Gold" campaign will be launched from May 1st to 22nd, where friends and family can team up and check in at designated locations across Taiwan for a chance to win prizes such as commemorative gold for the Year of the Horse, Apple MacBook Air, hotel meal vouchers, and convenience store gift certificates.
