The Paralympic Games are for people with physical or intellectual disabilities. There are many different categories, grouping people with comparable disabilities.

In the Beijing (able-bodied) Olympics of 2008, South African swimmer Natalie du Toit made history by swimming as an amputee in the women's open water 10 km race.
