Where will the 2024 Paralympics Games be held?
The 2024 Paralympic Games will feature 22 sports, including both traditional events like athletics, swimming, and wheelchair basketball, as well as newer additions such as para taekwondo and para badminton, which debuted at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics. Many events will take place at iconic venues around Paris, including Stade de France for athletics, La Défense Arena for wheelchair rugby and para judo, and Roland Garros for wheelchair tennis. The city has made significant efforts to ensure these venues are accessible and adapted to the needs of Paralympic athletes and spectators, reflecting its commitment to an inclusive and barrier-free Games.
Paris 2024 also emphasizes sustainability and accessibility, with initiatives aimed at creating a lasting impact beyond the event itself. The organizers plan to make the Games a catalyst for improving accessibility throughout the city, not just at sports venues but also in public transportation and urban infrastructure. By hosting the Paralympics, Paris hopes to showcase the strength and spirit of Paralympic athletes and encourage greater awareness and appreciation for disability sports worldwide.
