The opening ceremony will take place at the Place de la Concorde. Chef de mission Esther Vergeer from Woerden believes that De Rooij has contributed a lot to Paralympic sports in the Netherlands. “Carina is an icon in her sport. A strong, positive woman who has combined wheelchair basketball at the highest level with caring for her family for years,” says the former tennis player.
