Claim

Do you think that disabled people can play sports? Moreover, do you think they have their own massive sporting event? Well, they do, and it is called the Paralympics. The Paralympics is exactly like the Olympics, only it’s for disabled people. It has many various events including Wheelchair Basketball, Wheelchair Dancing, Weightlifting, and Swimming. The Paralympics is a competition that exists for people with disabilities. The paralympics includes the same events as the normal Olympics, only adapted to suit for disabled people.

Evidence

There are many competitions and events that allow disabled people to participate in sports, and one of these examples are the Paralympics. The Paralympics is very similar to the Olympics but changed to meet the needs of the disabled athletes. According to the article “News and information regarding various sports played by people with disabilities including Paralympics, Special Olympics, and other sports and sporting events for disabled. Many sports are played by persons with disability outside formal sports movements.”(Disability paragraph 1). Another example in the article is shown here, “However, many sports are practiced by persons with a disability outside the formal sports movements, for example: Wheelchair basketball, Wheelchair dancing, Weightlifting, Swimming, and many other sporting activities you can join if you are mentally or physical disabled.”(Disability paragraph 6).This proves that there are events that are meant for disabled people, which includes games that they can play and which attends their needs. It also shows that there are similarities and differences between the two types of sporting events.

Quote from article

In the article it states, “ "What better way than by becoming the first major sports competition to integrate athletes with disabilities"”. (Disability paragraph 12)
