Parasports

Parasports (or para sports) is the collective term for competitive sports organized for athletes with physical, visual, or intellectual impairments, most visibly showcased at the Paralympic Games. Sports are adapted with modified rules, equipment, or classification systems that group competitors by the type and degree of impairment to ensure fair competition. The category spans everything from wheelchair basketball and blind football to para athletics and swimming, reflecting decades of growth from post-war rehabilitation programs into a global elite sporting movement.
