“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.

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

Olympics vs Paralympics: A Tale of Two Budgets and Achievements India's performance on the global sports stage is always a matter of immense pride, but the numbers tell a story that speaks volumes about resilience, determination, and grit. 🏅 Olympics 2024 Budget: ₹470 Cr Medals: 6 (1 Silver, 5 Bronze) 🏅 Paralympics 2024 Budget: ₹20 Cr Medals: 29 (7 Gold, 9 Silver, 13 Bronze) 29 medals with just a fraction of the budget! 💪 The Paralympic team has shown what true sportsmanship is all about, turning challenges into opportunities and making the nation proud. The contrast between the budget allocations and the medal count highlights not just the potential of para-athletes but also the need to support them further. Every Paralympian is an inspiration, reminding us that the strength of spirit often outweighs the resources at hand. Let's celebrate these heroes and take pride in their remarkable journey! 🏆🇮🇳 International Olympic Committee – IOC #PrideOfIndia #Paralympics #Olympics #SportsInspiration #SupportParaAthletes #MedalGlory #Paralympics2024 #Olympics2024
