In 1948, Dr Ludwig Guttmann started the Stoke Mandeville Games which went on to become the Paralympic Games in Rome, 1960. And it was in Stoke Mandeville village, the origin of the Paralympic Movement, that the Paralympic flame was lit on August 24, 2024. It will then journey on to France which is all set to host the Paralympic 2024 Games.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In this comprehensive preview, we will provide you with all the key facts that you should be equipped with before the action kicks off. Let\u2019s dive right in.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dates, Venues and Medals<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The summer Paralympic Games are scheduled to commence on August 28 and run for a total of 11 days till September 8. It will be a Parisian (or French) debut to host these Games in 2024. Just as the <\/span>Olympic opening ceremony<\/span><\/a> made history, even the Paralympic opening ceremony will be held outside a stadium, for the first time ever.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Parisian streets, from Avenue des Champs-Elysees to Place de la Concorde, will bear witness to a grand parade of athletes for the opening ceremony. It will also feature performers with disabilities and spectators who will cheer on the athletes. The closing ceremony will take place on September 8 as Paris will bid adieu to the Games.<\/span><\/p>\n

Quite a few venues that already starred in the Olympics will enliven with the Paralympic events as well. Here are some of the venues we know so far.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stade de France:<\/strong> Athletics\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

La Defense Arena:<\/strong> Swimming\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Roland Garros:<\/strong> Wheelchair tennis<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Chateau de Versailles gardens:<\/strong> Para-equestrian<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Grand Palais:<\/strong> Wheelchair fencing and para-taekwondo\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Apart from these, the blind football competition will take place in a newly made stadium, right at the foot of the Eiffel Tower. The heart of Paris will host the para-triathlon, while the River Seine will be part of the swim leg.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Games also boasts 549 sets of medals that the competitors can win in the coming 11 days. And the cherry on top is that this event features 236 women\u2019s medal events. But the most interesting thing about the medals is that they have an embedded piece of original iron right out of the Eiffel Tower, and also feature engravings and braille for distinguishing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    The Paris Games are out to create new records right from the beginning as 4,400 athletes from 168 delegations will make their way to the French capital. 167 National Paralympic Committees (NPC) will be part of the Games. Three new NPCs, Eritrea, Kiribati and Kosovo, will also make their first entrance into the Paralympics.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    This year will also feature the biggest Refugee Paralympic Team (RPT) with 8 athletes accompanied by two sighted guides. The Neutral Paralympic Athletes delegation will consist of 90 Russian participants and 8 from Belarus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    The competition will grow more fierce this year due to the record-breaking participation of athletes as compared to Tokyo 2020. The Paris Paralympics will also leave a legacy as it proudly boasts the most number of female participants ever recorded in the Games\u2019 history.<\/span><\/p>\n
