The event, slotted for October 17 at the Centro de Alto Rendimiento de Madrid, will draw elite Olympic and Paralympic athletes from around the world. Emphasizing inclusivity, the competition aims to showcase and inspire through shared values on an international stage.

Supported by Spain’s Higher Sports Council, the Spanish Olympic Committee, and the Spanish Paralympic Committee, along with 18 sports federations, the event reinforces the critical nature of diversity and non-discrimination in sports. It aims to make a lasting impression by endorsing joint participation under inclusive rules, fostering a more equitable future in sports.
