The city of Tokyo, Villanueva de la Vera in the province of Cáceres, As Pontes in A Coruña and the cities of Huelva and Vigo were the sporting venues in which Athlos athletes competed.

The celebration of the HULIC DAIHATSU, an international para-badminton competition, was represented by Athlos players Manuel G. Rosendo, Mireia Hermida and Daniel García.
This competition, held between October 22 and 27, was a highly demanding test in which the Athlos players showed a high level. The difficulty of the competition prevented them from fighting for medals.
