Paralympic Sports

Paralympics are elite sport events for athletes who have a disability. They emphasize the participants' athletic achievements rather than their disability. The Paralympic Games are held in the same year and city as the Olympic Games. I got to try seven Paralympic sports while at camp. Look for the Paralympic symbol - Paralympic symbol - on the Listen Up! pages and name the Paralympic sports I got to try.
