their titles at the Beijing 2008 Paralympic Games.
Following a previous agreement Atos Origin signed directly with

Paralympic Games (BOCOG), the agreement with the IPC enables Atos
Origin to expand its Paralympic marketing rights worldwide.
The sponsorship of Li Duan and Bian Jianxin makes Atos Origin
the first Worldwide Olympic Partner to partner with NPCC to support
Chinese Paralympic athletes.
Under the agreement between Atos Origin and the IPC, Atos Origin
will contribute to the development of the Paralympic movement
through the creation of a system that is designed to manage the
athlete's data, including results, biographical and classification
specific information.
