         Paralympics.

ArthetOct 26 2021

On 22 September 1989, the International Paralympic Committee was founded as an international non-profit organisation in Dusseldorf, Germany, to act as the global governing body of the Paralympic Movement.The word “Paralympic” derives from the Greek preposition “para” (beside or alongside) and the word “Olympic”.Its meaning is that Paralympics are the parallel Games to the Olympics and illustrates how the two movements exist side-by-side. Paralympic Games or Paralympics is an international multi-sport event for athletes with a range of disabilities. The event usually takes place every two years and almost immediately after the Olympic Games. There are two versions of Paralympic games — Winter and Summer Games. All Paralympic Games are managed by the International Paralympic Committee (IPC). Athletes who participate have a range of disabilities including impaired muscle power, hypertonia, ataxia, vision impairment, intellectual impairment, etc.
