The Paralympics, which take place every four years, are a global event that celebrates the best of the disabled. This year’s games will be streamed on YouTube from August 29 to September 12. The Paralympics began in 1948 as a way to give disabled athletes a chance to compete on an equal footing with their able-bodied counterparts. The event has grown in popularity over the years, and now attracts spectators from all over the world. This year’s games will feature more than 1,600 athletes from over 60 countries competing in 26 different sports. The events range from track and field to swimming and wheelchair rugby. There are also competitions for people with physical disabilities as well as mental health issues. If you’re not able to attend the games live, you can always watch them online on YouTube. The channel has already uploaded more than 2,000 hours of footage from this year’s games, so there’s sure to be something for everyone. ..
