Few places are as jam-packed with talent as the Olympics. This includes the thousands of athletes that gather to compete, of course. But this also includes the performers who take the stage during both the opening and closing ceremonies. For example, Celine Dion delivered her first performance back on stage in quite some time this year, blowing us all away.
But the Olympics isn’t the only place to witness such breathtaking talent — there’s also the Paralympics. Since the very first games in 1960, disabled athletes have been showing off their wide range of skills. So, naturally, the performances during the ceremonies have to be just as stunning. One of the best featured folks in wheelchairs who showcased mesmerizing hand movements. See for yourself in the video below!
The 2020 Tokyo Paralympic Games Get the Perfect Send-Off With a Performance of Synchronized Hand Movements
Wow! What a fitting send-off for the 2020 Tokyo Paralympic Games! Each of the 128 performers involved deserves a thunderous round of applause. Then there is Sadeck Waff — he is the talented person who choreographed this performance. He is a French dancer who is, fittingly, known for his limb-centric performances.
“How do you even coordinate something like this,” someone asks in response to the performance. “How do you teach each section on how and when to move. Feels overwhelming to me. Incredible!”
There is no doubt that pulling off a performance like this takes a lot of hard work and dedication. Still, any challenges this group faced were 100% worth it in the end. Just ask Sadeck!
“This week of creating and sharing with a mix of people from all walks of life has comforted me about the power and beauty of being human,” Sadeck shares.
