The Paralympic Games or Paralympics, also known as the Games of the Paralympian, is a periodic series of international multisport events involving athletes with various disabilities.

The word “Paralympic” derives from the Greek preposition “para” (beside or alongside) and the word “Olympic”. Its meaning is that the Paralympics are the parallel Games to the Olympics, illustrating how the two movements exist side-by-side.

This Paralympics will hold a total of 549 medal events, including 164 in Para athletics and 141 in Para swimming, which are the two biggest sports.

Around 4,400 athletes from 180 National Paralympic Committees are expected to compete, in 22 sports (23 disciplines, as para-cycling is split into road and track events) in addition to a Refugee Paralympic Team and Neutral Paralympic Athletes.

The Refugee Paralympic Team is made up of eight athletes and two sighted guides (who are also refugees), making this year's team the biggest RPT yet.
