Parallel to the Olympics.
As of i know about paralympics singapore, Singapore National Paralympic Council (SNPC) focuses on enabling our elite para athletes to participate in major games like the ASEAN Para Games, Commonwealth Games, Asian Para Games, Asian Youth Para Games and Paralympic Games.
Para-olympic is short for paraplegic Olympics it is for disabled people like people in wheelchairs or with no legs Actually, as has already been stated, the "para" stands for "parallel" and not "paraplegic." While many of the participants are paraplegic (missing one or more arms or legs), others have different disabilities, such as blindness. "Paralympics" is the term used officially, by the International Paralympic Committee as well as the Paralympic Games themselves.
Go to Wikipedia and search under Paralympic Symbols. It has a good description of the flag/logo and some historical background information about it and other paralympic symbols.
The first Paralympic games took place in London in 1948. The games were called the 1948 International Wheelchair Games at that time.

Para can have several meanings. The verb "para" can mean to stop when issued as a command. Most often, however, para is a preposition. It can mean "by": para mañana means "by tomorrow." It can mean "for": El libro es para tí means "The book's for you." It can mean in order to: Fuí para ver La Casa Blanca means "I went (in order) to see the White House."
The Spanish phrases 'para qué' and 'por qué' both can mean why.
