The Paralympic Games
The Paralympic Games are an (1) important international sports event, where athletes with a physical disability compete. There are Winter and Summer Paralympic Games. They follow the Summer and (2) Winter Olympic Games. The Paralympics began in 1948. They didn’t have this name then. That year the first sports event for disabled athletes took place. A small group of the British World War veterans competed with each other. In 1952 some Dutch veterans joined in the competitions. In I960 in Rome 400 disabled athletes took part in the Summer Paralympic Games. In the year 2005 there were already 3,900 sportsmen from 146 countries. In the Paralympic Games in Sochi the number of athletes was 555 from 45 countries. The word Paralympic (3) comes from the Greek word para which means “similar”. The (4) Paralympic flag has the Paralympic symbol on it. There are three colours (5) red, blue and green. These are the colours we can find on the flags of different nations. The opening and the closing ceremonies (6) are always colourful.
