The Paralympic Games 2024 will take place in Paris, from the 28th of August to the 8th of September. This prestigious event celebrates the athletic achievements of athletes with disabilities and promotes the values of inclusion, diversity, and equality. The Paralympic Games, held every four years, are a testament to the incredible skill, determination, and spirit of Paralympians worldwide.
The origins of the Paralympic Games date back to 1948 when Dr. Ludwig Guttmann organised a sports competition for World War II veterans with spinal cord injuries in Stoke Mandeville, England. This event evolved into the first official Paralympic Games, held in Rome in 1960, with 400 athletes from 23 countries. Since then, the Paralympic Games have grown significantly, becoming one of the largest and most inclusive sporting events globally.
To celebrate the Paralympic Games 2024, various events and activities are organised to promote awareness and appreciation of Paralympic sports. Spectators can look forward to watching over 4,000 athletes from more than 160 countries compete in 22 sports, including athletics, swimming, wheelchair basketball, and para-cycling. The Games also feature new sports like para-taekwondo and para-badminton, highlighting the ever-evolving nature of Paralympic sports.
