You'll learn about the innovative classification system that ensures fair competition, making the Paralympics a true test of ability.

But this book goes beyond the scoreboard. It examines the core values that drive the Paralympic movement, its transformative impact on society's view of disability, and even tackles tough issues like cheating. With a dedicated FAQ section, it answers all your burning questions about this extraordinary event.

This book is your ultimate guide to the Paris 2024 Paralympics-where ability, not disability, takes center stage.
