The Paralympic Games in Paris are set to open today with a ceremony at Place de la Concorde, beginning at 21:00 Bulgarian time. Over 4,400 athletes with disabilities will compete in 22 sports for 549 medals during the 11-day event, which runs until September 8.

The Paralympics begin in Paris next week, putting on display the talents of remarkable athletes in a city still riding the wave of the highly successful Olympics.

A new generation of Paralympians will be joined by seasoned veterans competing in many of the same sensational venues in the centre of the French capital that hosted Olympic sports.

The nightmare of COVID-19 might not have vanished from our lives, but four years after the pandemic’s onset that changed almost everything, things are significantly better (and different).

The Europe Paralympic Committee (EPC) has decided for the 2025 European Para Youth Games (EPYG) to be organized in Istanbul by majority of votes, marking the country's first Paralympic multi-sport event.

Athletes are counting down the days to the 2024 Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games. However, there are some who are counting not just the days but also the seconds, as even those have value. One such person is Lambis Konstantinidis, the director of planning and coordination for both events. A title that comes with thousands of responsibilities and obligations.

Istanbul has been unanimously chosen as the host for the fourth European Games in 2027, the European Olympic Committees (EOC) said Wednesday.

The multi-sport event, first staged in 2015, was the fifth continental Games to be established after the Asian Games, Pan American Games, Pacific Games and African Games.
