Abstract

Sports rights of people with disabilities are a fundamental right, the protection of human rights, and have special characteristics compared to the sports rights of ordinary citizens. The newly revised and adopted Sports Law in 2022 will include people with disabilities in the category of special groups of sports rights subjects, but compared to developed countries, China still has shortcomings in the protection of sports rights of people with disabilities: a single way of relief and the main body of supply are not diversified; the main body of responsibility is not clear. However, in comparison with developed countries, there are still shortcomings in the protection of sports rights of people with disabilities in China: there is a single way of relief and the main body of supply is not diversified; the main body of responsibility is not clear; the accountability and supervision system is not sound; and the public infrastructure society is not perfect. Therefore, this paper gives suggestions for the legal protection of sports rights of people with disabilities, taking into account the current sports rights protection system of people with disabilities in China and overseas experiences: improve the remedy channels, improve the accountability and supervision system, and improve the sports rights of people with disabilities from the perspective of anti-discrimination, hoping to promote the improvement of the public service system of sports for people with disabilities in China and the improvement of the sports rights protection system of people with disabilities.
