PARIS 2024 Paralympic Games 28 August - 8 September
With less than 600 days to go before France hosts its first Paralympic Summer Games, Paris 2024 has unveiled its exciting and dynamic competition schedule which will see elite athletes enthral the world over 11 days of breath-taking action between 28 August to 8 September 2024.
The event schedule, developed in close collaboration with the International Federations, the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) and Olympic Broadcasting Services (OBS), gives a clear picture of what fans around the world can look forward to at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games.
The full schedule, with the sport by sport programme, can be viewed here. This provisional schedule is subject to change up to the end of the Games.
The world’s best Para athletes will gather in Paris ready to make more history. They include:
‘Blade Jumper’ Markus Rehm – the German athlete won the last three Paralympic titles in long jump and holds the world record of 8.62m, which is longer than the winning men’s long jump at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics of 8.41m.
Brazil’s blind football team, which won 27 matches in a row to become Paralympic champions five times since the sport was introduced to the Paralympic programme in 2004. Can reigning European champions France bring that amazing run to an end?
Dutch phenomenon Diede de Groot, who after becoming the first women’s wheelchair tennis player to achieve the Golden Slam in 2021 (singles gold medallist at the Paralympic Games and singles winner of the four Grand Slams), in 2022 became the first tennis player ever – not only a wheelchair tennis player – to win back-to-back calendar Grand Slams.
