Luxembourg Paralympic Committee Elects Serge Schaul as President

On Tuesday 24 March 2026, the Luxembourg Paralympic Committee (LPC) elected Serge Schaul as its new President during its Ordinary General Assembly held at the Rehazenter rehabilitation centre in Luxembourg-Kirchberg.

The assembly took place in the presence of Luxembourg’s Minister of Sports, Martine Hansen, President of the Luxembourg Olympic and Sporting Committee (COSL), Michel Knepper, as well as representatives of member associations, athletes, partners and sports federations. 

According to the LPC, the General Assembly marked an important step for the organisation, notably through the renewal of its governing bodies and the integration of new members.

The Board of Directors now comprises eleven members, including three from the previous committee, Katrin Kohl, Lynn Strasser and Philippe Hein, as well as six new members: Jana Peters, Stéphanie Thiry, Chloé Guibal, Olaf Chalmer Rasmussen, Jean-Baptiste Prouhèze and Gennaro Pietropaolo.

Sidney Loes, already a member of the committee, was elected Vice-President.

“I thank the members of the LPC for their trust in me and in the entire board. Together, we can achieve a great deal to better support our para-athletes and further strengthen their visibility within society,” said Serge Schaul, the newly elected President of the LPC.

The General Assembly also confirmed the admission of three new members: FLERA, FLJUDO and FSCL, further expanding the LPC network.

On this occasion, the LPC paid tribute to its long-standing President Marc Schreiner, who was named Honorary President in recognition of his contribution to the development of the committee and parasport in Luxembourg over the past 36 years.

Acknowledgement was also given to Marie-Rose Meyer for her long-standing commitment to the LPC board and to Luxembourg sport.

The LPC also thanked Massimo Cristallo, a board member since 2025 and Vice-President, who has served as Acting President since the beginning of the year during a transition period.

The administrative and sporting activity reports presented during the General Assembly highlighted positive developments in 2025, including the strengthening of sports structures, the introduction of new projects and disciplines and increased visibility of parasport in Luxembourg. Increased support from the Ministry of Sports, notably through additional human and financial resources, was also noted.

The provisional programme for 2026 was also presented, confirming continued activities in the areas of inclusion, performance sport and the development of parasport.
