Paralympic Games

The Summer Games of 1988 held in Seoul was the first time the term "Paralympic" came into official use.

The Paralympic Games are a major international multi-sport event where athletes with physical disabilities compete; this includes athletes with mobility disabilities, amputations, blindness, and cerebral palsy.

There are winter and summer paralympic games, which are held immediately following their respective olympic games. All Paralympic Games are governed by the International Paralympic Committee(IPC).
