Paralympic athletes

Paralympic athletes are highly trained competitors who participate in the Paralympic Games, an international event for athletes with disabilities. Their disabilities may include mobility impairments, visual impairments, limb differences, or other physical and neurological conditions. These athletes compete in adapted sports with modified rules and specialized equipment to ensure fair competition. Like Olympic athletes, they undergo rigorous training, demonstrating exceptional skill, determination, and athleticism. The Paralympics celebrate physical excellence and resilience, promoting greater awareness and inclusion of people with disabilities in sports and society.
