TABLE OF CONTENTS
Dear athletes, teams, members and sports fans,
Welcome to the 2019 International Blind Sports Federation (IBSA) Goalball and Judo International Qualifier in the wonderful city of Fort Wayne!
We, alongside the United States Association of Blind Athletes (USABA), the Turnstone Center, the Grand Wayne Convention Center and Indiana Tech, have a great week of competition lined-up for you.
More than 600 athletes from 40 countries, including the home teams, have made the journey to Fort Wayne in the hope of securing spots or qualification points for the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games.
We expect the competition to be fierce and exciting and I hope that you are entertained and inspired over the coming days by the incredible competitors.
On behalf of IBSA, I would like to thank USABA, the venues, the volunteers and the Fort Wayne 2019 partners for their support in bringing together what I am sure will be an excellent event.
Whether you are experiencing goalball and judo for the first time here or are a seasoned fan, I hope you enjoy your time and that we can count on you to support all the athletes in their quest for greatness.
Good luck to everyone competing this week!
Jannie Hammershoi
IBSA President

What traffic jam?Sure, you might encounter a few ducks on the
water at an Indiana State Park, but they’ll get right
out of your way. And if you feel like pulling over
to park at the shore, there’s no meter. Take all the
time you want. Time to hike. Time to unwind. Time
to reflect. Or time to let out a big “Woohoo” and
hear it echo across a canyon. However you like
to experience the great outdoors, it’s always a
getaway worth sharing.
