Recreational and Non-Para Sports[edit | edit source]
The word “Paralympic“ derives from the Greek preposition “para“ (beside or alongside) and the word “Olympic“, meaning that Paralympics are parallel to the Olympics. Some examples of recreational and non-paralympic sports include:
Special Olympics[edit | edit source]
Mission[8]:

Paralympics[edit | edit source]
The Paralympics are the ultimate competition for world class, elite athletes with physical disabilities. Athletes with disabilities should have opportunities to:
- pursue their goals
- dream of winning a gold medal
- commit to strenuous training regimes
- meet strict qualification standards
- exist in an environment of excellence and personal best performances
The four core values of the Paralympic movement are[11]:
- Courage – “It encompasses the unique spirit of the Paralympic athlete who seeks to accomplish what the general public deems unexpected, but what the athlete knows as a truth.”[12]
- Determination – “The manifestation of the idea that Paralympic athletes push their physical ability to the absolute limit.”[12]
- Inspiration – “When intense and personal affection is begotten from the stories and accomplishments of Paralympic athletes, and the effect is applying this spirit to one's personal life.”[12]
- Equality – “Paralympic Sport acts as an agent for change to break down social barriers of discrimination for persons with an impairment.”[12]
