Marcel Hug recently submitted an inquiry to the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) requesting assistance on two matters: 1) Restoring a wheelchair event at various international events such as the Olympic Games, which hosted a demonstration event for wheelchairs from 1984 to 2004, and 2) Restoring a four-year cycle during which a major title is contested each year. His request was signed by 26 athletes.
