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.
