The term "paralympic" refers to the international sports competition for athletes with disabilities. It is held every four years, shortly after the Olympic Games. The Paralympic Games feature a wide range of sports, including wheelchair basketball, adaptive swimming, and sitting volleyball, allowing athletes to showcase their skills and determination. The first official Paralympic Games took place in 1960 in Rome, Italy. Since then, the event has grown significantly, with thousands of athletes from around the world participating. The games promote inclusivity and highlight the abilities of athletes with disabilities, fostering a spirit of competition and sportsmanship.
