Jackie Chan Pimpin Obor Paralimpiade Menuju Upacara Pembukaan di Paris
SEAToday.com, Jakarta - Aktor bela diri legendaris Jackie Chan telah dipilih sebagai salah satu pembawa obor Paralimpiade di Paris. Chan, yang dikenal karena aksi-aksi spektakulernya dalam film, akan membawa api Paralimpiade pada Rabu (28/8) sore, beberapa jam sebelum upacara pembukaan dimulai.
Selain Jackie Chan, artis Prancis Elsa Zylberstein dan penari serta koreografer Benjamin Millepied juga akan ambil bagian dalam pawai obor tersebut. Seperti upacara pembukaan Olimpiade, pawai ini akan berlangsung di luar Stade de France, dengan parade yang akan menyusuri Champs-Elysees menuju Place de la Concorde di pusat kota Paris.
Api Paralimpiade ini dinyalakan di Stoke Mandeville, Inggris, pada Sabtu (24/8), dan tiba di Prancis melalui Terowongan Channel pada Minggu (25/8). Obor dibawa oleh Emmanuelle Assmann, peraih medali anggar kursi roda, sebagai bagian dari perjalanan simbolis menuju pembukaan Paralimpiade.
"Ini semua tentang menanamkan olahraga di hati para penyandang disabilitas," kata Menteri Olahraga Prancis Amelie Oudea-Castera, yang menyambut api Paralimpiade bersama kepala panitia penyelenggara Tony Estanguet, seperti dikutip dari Antara.
Api Paralimpiade akan terus melanjutkan perjalanannya, di mana akan "dilipatgandakan" menjadi 12 api yang dibawa oleh 1.000 pembawa obor di sekitar 50 kota. Semua estafet ini akan berakhir di Paris, di mana api Olimpiade akan tiba pada Rabu (28/8) untuk menandai dimulainya upacara pembukaan.
