BlazeSports America notes with sadness the passing of International Olympic Committee (IOC) Honorary President Juan Antonio Samaranch, who was widely credited with renewing and fundamentally changing the landscape of the Olympic Movement, as well as influencing the Paralympic Movement. International Paralympic Committee President Sir Philip Craven said that Mr. Samaranch was instrumental in the strong relationship that the IPC currently has with the IOC. "Juan Antonio Samaranch was indeed an inspired visionary. In the late 1980's and 1990's he ensured that relationships between the IOC and the IPC were maintained and strengthened. He is a key reason for the success of the Paralympic Movement today," said Sir Philip. Mr. Samaranch was involved in the agreement between the IPC and IOC, which strengthened the relationship of the organizations and thoroughly developed the future of the Paralympic Movement.
