Paralympics Australia’s Post

Are You Ready ?

Since 1960, the Paralympic Games have challenged notions of disability, and what began as a movement with just 400 athletes, has grown to 4,400 across 22 sports. Outstanding performances from Paralympians like Natalie du Toit, the first amputee swimmer to compete in both the Olympic and Paralympic Games, and Abdellatif Baka, a visually impaired runner who not only broke the 1500m T13 world record, but ran it 1.71 seconds faster than the Olympic gold medallist that same year, help prove to the world that firsts go beyond the podium. Explore #TheFirstEffect and see the impact firsts at the Olympic and Paralympic Games have had on the world. https://deloi.tt/3x1XNxM

Do you know what #Paralympics stands for? I can tell you it 100% is NOT a shortened term for "paraplegic" Olympics. It derives from the Greek preposition “para” (beside or alongside), in other words a parallel #Olympics for people with disabilities. So why the break between the Olympics and the Paralympics?... Why not run it all at once? Fundamentally, it takes a significant amount of logistics to bump out Olympic athletes from 329 events in 32 sports from the village only for Paralympic athletes competing in a staggering 549 events in 22 sports to arrive and get setup! We're only at half time. Let the Games begin! #ImagineWhatWeCanDo

Firstly, the Paralympic Games should be hosted before the Olympic Games. Secondly, why are we not talking about how strong the Indian Paralympic contingent is, they are making medals rain for us! Thirdly, how are these human beings so incredible? 😭 #paralympics2024 #teamIndia #proudindian

The 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games showed us that it takes #Motivation and discipline to accomplish our #Goals. Here are 5 things we can learn from these top athletes to stay motivated and manage stress: https://bit.ly/4g4ypcb #MotivationMonday

A little Monday motivation on this beautiful Tuesday. 1 of the 5 is mindset... With a growth mindset, you know that you can change over time, and therefore you are more open to reflect, learn and grow from challenges. Make a point of learning from situations to reduce your nerves for the next opportunity. #growthmindset #motivation #Stressmanagment
