What Are the Paralympics?
The Paralympics are a major international multi-sport event involving athletes with a range of disabilities. These athletes compete at the highest levels of competition, demonstrating incredible athleticism, strength, and resilience. The Paralympic Games take place shortly after the Olympic Games and serve as a powerful symbol of inclusion and determination. Through their outstanding performances, Paralympians not only break records but also challenge perceptions of disability, proving that with perseverance, anything is possible.
