ANSWER

The word “Paralympic” derives from the Greek preposition “para” (beside or alongside) and the word “Olympic”. Its meaning is that Paralympics are the parallel Games to the Olympics and illustrates how the two movements exist side-by-side.

There are currently 28 Paralympic sports sanctioned by the IPC: 22 summer and six winter. The two newest sports to be givenParalympic status are badminton and taekwondo, which will both make their debut at the Tokyo 2020 Games.
