From rising stars to absolute legends, these athletes are bringing it all to Paris for the 2024 Paralympic Games.
Good news for everyone still buzzing from an action-packed, awe-inspiring Olympic Games in Paris: The two-week wait before the next round of top-level competition is almost over. The Paralympic Games—parallel to the Olympics, and the biggest sporting event in the world for people with disabilities—begin with opening ceremonies down the Avenue des Champs-Elysees to the famous Place de la Concorde on August 28.
Another six-time Paralympian, legendary wheelchair racer Tatyana McFadden already has 20 Paralympic medals to her name. If she earns another gold in any of the five events she’s competing in—from the 100 meters to the marathon—she’ll become the most winning American, male or female, in para track and field history. All the para athletics events—or track and field, for us Americans—take place August 30 to September 7 at the Stade de France .
