Tengrinews.kz - Renowned actor and martial artist Jackie Chan will carry the Paralympic torch in Paris just hours before the opening ceremony, citing South China Morning Post.

The 70-year-old star, famous for his stunts and acrobatic fight scenes, will be one of the torchbearers during the Paris leg of the relay on Wednesday afternoon.

The Paralympic Games opening ceremony will take place outside the stadium, featuring a parade from the Champs-Élysées to Place de la Concorde in central Paris.

The torch, lit on Saturday in Stoke Mandeville, Buckinghamshire, UK—the historic birthplace of the Paralympic Games—arrived in France via the Channel Tunnel on Sunday. It was carried by wheelchair fencing medalist Émmanuelle Assmann.
