When and in which country did the Paralympic Games originate? What is the development course of this Paralympic Games?
Paralympics are actually divided into Winter Paralympics and Summer Paralympics. The main departments in charge are different. Paralympics mainly originated in Europe after the Second World War. In this war, because many soldiers were injured and disabled, Britain wanted to use sports to make them recover, which gradually evolved into today's Paralympic Games. Let's take a look at the development of this Olympic Games.

Bian Xiao's main content today may focus on the Winter Paralympics, because the Winter Paralympics has just been held, and the Paralympic Games are relatively close to our time, so it may be relatively simple to recall. At that time, because many soldiers were injured in the war, Britain wanted to restore these soldiers to a relatively healthy state. Their doctors at that time put forward a suggestion to do a kind of exercise as a way for patients to recover. Later, on the opening day of the Summer Olympic Games in London, they organized a wheelchair archery competition, which was probably the first disabled athlete whose predecessor was the Paralympic Games. The first time I stepped into a more formal competition field, the related competition gradually evolved into a sports event.

Later, after the Games, another Olympic Games was held in Rome, Italy. At that time, the Olympic Games were not called Paralympics. Later development was considered by the then International Paralympic Committee as the first Paralympic Games held by people at that time. Almost at the same time, the Winter Paralympic Games project has also developed, because of the vigorous development of this project. Many disabled people recover slowly, so the Winter Paralympics widely appear in people's field of vision. After decades of development, Paralympics has now become a world-recognized competitive sports event for the disabled.
