according to the united nation it is not
acceptable to separate people based on
their differences last year the World
Economic Forum invited me to participate
in a debate in Japan the purpose was to
discuss how the next Olympic Games can
improve their social impact at the end
of the debate the moderator asked me
Rodrigo what do you think Tokyo can
change in the sense in 2020 summarizing
my answer I truly believe that the
complete separation in the games between
olympic and paralympic is incompatible
with the concept of an inclusive society
what kind of message do we sent to the
road segregating people based on the
existence of a disability
besides the act of putting out the fire
of the Olympic pyre and then we
explained lighting the Paralympic pyre
just reinforces this negative message
considering that the Olympic Games are a
huge showcase broadcasted to billions of
people I would like to make a proposal
for Tokyo changes in history demands
symbols
[Music]
so I propose that in Tokyo we use the
same torch the same fire and most
important that we keep the frame lighted
between both games I believe that’s how
the Olympic Games we make a magnificent
step it represent the equality among the
human beings thank you
[Applause]
