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

“The Magic of the Paralympics: Perseverance and Inspiration” The Paralympics are special for several reasons and since I was gifted with living with a paraplegic at an early age, it became a must see on my sports calendar. For full context please read earlier post: ’The Rare Gift of Living with a Paraplegic’. Here are just a few reasons why you might want to watch too: 1. Showcase of Human Resilience: The games highlight the extraordinary achievements of athletes who overcome physical and sometimes severe disabilities. They demonstrate the indomitable will and spirit of the human condition. 2. Promoting Inclusion: The Paralympics play a crucial role in promoting inclusivity and changing perceptions about disability. They offer a platform to challenge stereotypes and advocate for equal opportunities. 3. High Level of Competition: Athletes at the Paralympics compete at incredibly high levels, often breaking records and setting new standards in their sports, just like in the Olympics. 4. Innovation and Adaptation: The sports are often adapted to fit the needs of the athletes, showcasing innovative equipment and modifications that make the sports accessible to those with disabilities.

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

During the Paris Paralympics, have you seen the white NPA flag go up often and wonder which nation does it represent & which anthem plays when someone from that team wins gold? 👉 NPA stands for 'Neutral Paralympic Athletes' and is used to represent individual athletes from Russia & Belarus, after the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) banned the two nation's participation in the Paralympics given the ongoing war 👉 The IPC vets the athletes and only those who have no involvement or affiliation with the war and military are allowed to participate 👉 In Paris, there are 96 participants from Team NPA across 5 sports, majority of them from para-athletics and swimming. 👉 When someone from NPA wins gold, which has happened about 22 times thus far, the Paralympic anthem is played but their medal wins are not officially recorded on the medals table 👉 Similar team structures have been created in the past for representatives from Yugoslavia (1992), East Timor (2000) and refugees & asylees (2016) before an official Refugee Paralympic Team has been created from the 2020 Tokyo Games.

How is Paris preparing for the Olympics and Paralympics?
