The Luxembourg Paralympic Committee (LPC) aims to continue the development of the sport in Luxembourg in collaboration with Curling Luxembourg by launching The Wheelchair Curling Days event on 26 and 27 February.

Attendees will get to meet experienced players and coaches from neighbouring countries, who with the LPC and Curling Luxembourg will be addressing all participants.

Marc Kiefer, sports director of the LPC is excited about the future of the sport in the grand duchy hoping that “we can even form a team in the medium term, (as) the mixed doubles discipline will indeed be on the programme of the 2026 Paralympic Games for the first time.” Discussing the merits of the sport in a press release, he say that, “curling is an inclusive sport that allows people with or without disabilities to practice sport.”

“With curling, we want to expand our sports offer for people with disabilities in Luxembourg and actively promote winter sports,” Kiefer says, highlighting his aims of bringing sport to a wider audience.

He’s not alone in his excitement for the sport and the ongoing collaboration, “The cooperation with the Luxembourg Paralympic Committee offers a good platform to highlight the potential of curling as a sport. And thanks to some adaptations to the rules, it allows everyone to practice the sport with minimal obstacles,” says Karen Wauters, who is responsible for Curling Luxembourg’s cooperation.

Wauters hopes that the curling weekend event at the Kockelscheuer ice rink will transcend through the generations and bring everyone together.

The event is available for all who wish to participate and try out wheelchair curling, .
