This year’s paralympics were spectacular! Here at SIC, we’ve been glued to the games - which event was your favourite?
The largest celebration of disabled sports professionals in the world, the Paralympics has a rich history. Formed from a plethora of disabled sporting communities dating as far back as the 1880s, the first Paralympic games was held in Rome, Italy, in 1960. The most recent Paralympic games in Rio 2016 attracted international audiences of over 4.1 billion people, the largest ever audience for a disabled sporting event.
