What are Paralympic Games

Paralympic Games gather athletes every four years that meet some of the 10 disability categories established by the International Paralympic Committee (CPI), among which are those of physical, visual and intellectual nature.

Within each of them and depending on sport, athletes are also divided according to the level of disability, which explains that for each discipline there are multiple categories.

Paralympic Games owe their existence to the thrust of the British neurologist Ludwig Guttmann, which on the same day as the inauguration of the 1948 London Games organized a competition with 16 war veterans with physical disabilities.

The following year, the competition was extended to 37 athletes from six medical enclosures in the British capital, an opportunity in which Guttmann declared his intention to boost the equivalent of the Olympic Games, but for people with disabilities.

In Rome 1960, the event ceased to be reserved for war veterans.He added 400 athletes from 23 countries and since then they are held the same year as the Olympic Games.
