Boy this is hard
Great Britan
the paralympic were invented in 1948 on the 28th of july by a neurosurgeon named Sir Ludwig Guttman.
They were introduced because the paralymians (as we call them now) were competing in the normal olympics, and the public thought they had an advantage, but they didnt want them to not be able to compete, so they invented the paralympics. I hope this helped ;D
The paralympics are for disabled people
In 2012 Paralympics
there is an olympic flame at the paralympics
Paralympics Ireland was created in 1987.
They are called the Paralympics because it is a form of the Olympics for pelagic (aka people who have lost/amputated limbs).
