The Olympic Games for competitors with physical, visual, or cerebral disabilities are known as the

Paralympic Games. In Stoke Mudeville, England, the first competitions for individuals with disabilities
were conducted in 1948. The Stoke Mandeville Games were established on the day of the 1948
London Olympics' opening ceremony, and the first wheelchair athletic competition took place. Four
years later, Dutch athletes competed in these games, sparking the beginning of the global movement
today famous as the Paralympic Movement. Following the Olympic Games in the same city in 1960,
the first Olympic Games for athletes with disabilities were held in Rome. They are regarded as the
first Paralympic Games. Six of the eight sports—archery, swimming, fencing, basketball, table tennis,
and athletics—remain on the Paralympic Games schedule. Around 400 participants from 23 nations
competed in these events. Ever since then, the Paralympic Games have been hosted every four (4)
years, always in the same year as the Olympic Games (with the exception of Tokyo 2020, which was
held in 2021 owing to the pandemic). The concept of combining various categories of athletes with
disabilities to compete in international athletic events was created in Toronto in 1976 when
additional disability categories were added. The first Winter Paralympic Games took place in Sweden
in the same year. The 1988 Paralympics in Seoul were noteworthy for another reason: they were held
in the same nation, same city, and within the same facilities as the Olympic Games. There have been
12 Winter Paralympic Games and 16 Summer Paralympic Games since 1960. After the Olympics, the
Paralympic Games are now the biggest sports event.
