FIBA’s Post

Do you know what #Paralympics stands for? I can tell you it 100% is NOT a shortened term for "paraplegic" Olympics. It derives from the Greek preposition “para” (beside or alongside), in other words a parallel #Olympics for people with disabilities. So why the break between the Olympics and the Paralympics?... Why not run it all at once? Fundamentally, it takes a significant amount of logistics to bump out Olympic athletes from 329 events in 32 sports from the village only for Paralympic athletes competing in a staggering 549 events in 22 sports to arrive and get setup! We're only at half time. Let the Games begin! #ImagineWhatWeCanDo

Unless we have broadcasters, we wont have enough viewers, unless we have viewers, we wont have enough para sports followers, unless have enough para sports followers, we wont have enough para sport lover, unless we have para sports lover, we wont have the potential growth in the Paralympic Movement. it is likely that a country with a large population and a strong sporting culture will have the highest overall sports viewership, thus countries like India, China, US, with a high percentage of sports viewership, can play a major role in creating the awareness and building interest for Paralympic sports. Additionally, IPC must put measures so that specialized subjects like classification could be made understandable to everyone watching the sport. Tools like LEXI (Giles Long) can prove to be a game changer if accepted and implemented strategically by IPC and globally. International Paralympic Committee

Transport - Olympic & Paralympic Games. Planing transportation for any Olympic & Paralympic Games is tough. A ton of moving parts that all have to be in sync for the transport plan to succeed. As the City of Los Angeles gears up for the LA28 Olympic & Paralympic a Summer Games, it's imperative that the United States government lends its support to ensure seamless transport planning and operations. Here's a video of the US Secretary of Transportation explaining to the US Congress Subcommittee on Transportation about the importance of its collaboration with the LA28 Organizing Committee, the City of Los Angeles, and CALDOT which is essential to guaranteeing efficient movement of athletes, spectators, and goods, showcasing the US's commitment to hosting world-class events while enhancing infrastructure and mobility for all. #LA28 #Olympics #Paralympics #TransportPlanning

One of the most exciting aspects of the Olympics is discovering sports we've never, or rarely, watched before. Every few years, we're introduced to events that captivate our attention and spark new interests. But why do these sports only seem to surface during the Olympic Games? Is it the rarity of these events that draws us in? Or is it the prestige and grandeur of the Olympics itself that makes them so intriguing? Imagine if these team handball, canoe slalom, table tennis, and countless others were available more often – would we still be as enthralled? The Olympics provide a unique platform that elevates lesser-known sports to global recognition. It's a testament to the power of the Games to bring diverse athletic pursuits into the spotlight, if only temporarily. What do you think? Would regular exposure to these sports sustain your interest, or does the Olympic context add that extra layer of allure? #Olympics #SportsDiscovery #SportsMarketing #SportsMedia
