History of Paralympic Games
1960, the first Paralympic Games was held in Rome, Italy, with 400 athletes from 23 countries participating. Since then, the Paralympic Games have been held every four years, and the scale and participating countries have been expanding. From 65438 to 0988, Paralympics officially became a part of the Olympic Games, which was held in the same year as the Olympic Games, and was called "Paralympic Games".
The significance of paralympic games
The holding of Paralympic Games is not only the affirmation and support for disabled people's sports, but also the opportunity for disabled people to show themselves, prove themselves and surpass themselves. The spirit of the Paralympic Games-"Disabled people can also participate in sports like ordinary people"-inspires disabled people to constantly challenge themselves, constantly surpass themselves and make greater contributions to themselves and society.
Organization and events of Paralympic Games
The organization of the Paralympic Games is similar to that of the Olympic Games. The IPC is responsible, and each competition is hosted by a country or region. The events include wheelchair basketball, wheelchair tennis, wheelchair track and field, cycling, swimming, archery, fencing, table tennis and badminton. The rules of competition are similar to ordinary sports competitions, but some events will have special provisions and considerations according to different types and degrees of disabilities.
The influence of paralympic games
The holding of the Paralympic Games not only makes disabled people get more attention and support, but also makes ordinary people know more about their lives and needs. The success of the Paralympic Games has also provided important support and help for the social integration of the disabled and the struggle for equal rights.
As an important part of the Paralympic Games, the London Paralympic Games not only created infinite possibilities for disabled people, but also won more respect and rights for disabled people around the world. We should pay high tribute to the organizers and participants of the London Paralympic Games, and at the same time, we should contribute to the lives and rights of the disabled.
