​Sports has the power to unite, challenge, and inspire people everywhere
Competing in para sports at an international level is an incredible experience that goes far beyond just winning medals—it's about pushing personal limits, building a global community, and breaking barriers.
Athletes with disabilities from all over the world come together to showcase their talent, determination, and resilience in sports ranging from wheelchair basketball to para swimming to sitting volleyball. The international stage not only celebrates athletic achievement but also highlights the power of inclusion and the shared love of sport.​
