A tribute to Dutch Snowboarder Bibian Mentel-Spee who has died aged 48. Having successfully campaigned to have Para snowboard included in the Paralympic Winter Games, Mentel-Spee won three Paralympic titles, claiming her first gold on the sport’s debut at Sochi 2014.
Despite two major surgeries and cancer treatment in the lead-up, Mentel-Spee returned to the Paralympic stage and won two remarkable gold medals at the PyeongChang 2018 Paralympic Winter Games.
IPC President Andrew Parsons said: “What Bibian Mentel-Spee did for Para sport in general, let alone Para Snowboard, is immeasurable and words simply cannot do her or her achievements justice.
“Her positive attitude facing the most challenging circumstances head-on, her encouragement and support to youngsters with disability to embrace sport and her values while competing at the highest possible level were just incredible and awe inspiring".
Heartfelt condolences to the family, friends and team-mates of Bibian, the Para Snowboard community and Dutch Paralympic Committee. The full tribute to Bibian can be read via our homepage.
The International Paralympic Committee's vision is to make for an inclusive world through Para sport. Our mission is to lead the Paralympic Movement, oversee the delivery of the Paralympic Games and support members to enable Para athletes to achieve sporting excellence.
