A highlight of the event will be two disabled torchbearers using robot exoskeletons during the relay leg at Shougang Industrial Park in Beijing on Friday morning.
Another focus is the design of the torch. The torch, named "Flying", has a color combination of silver and gold. It symbolizes "glory and dreams" while reflecting the Paralympic values of "determination, equality, inspiration and courage".
Made of carbon fiber, the torch is light, resistant to high temperatures and primarily fueled by hydrogen, making it free of emissions and demonstrating the organizers' aim of staging a "green and high-tech" Games.
