The Paralympics

The Paralympics by Breanne
The Paralympics are for people who have disabilities.
The Paralympics were first held in Rome in 1960.The most successful Paralympians were Tanni Grey-Thompson and David Roberts.
The Paralympics are the second largest sports competition in the world after the Olympics.
Like the Olympics the Paralympics are a competition of people with the highest athletic ability.
The name Paralympics comes from a Greek prefix Para.
The 2012 Paralympic games have twenty games and sixteen of them are also in the Olympics like archery, athletics [track and field].wheelchair basketball, cycling, equestrian and ten more other sports as well.
The Paralympics 2012 are being held at London just like the Olympics were.

    Hi Breanne I also like how you used the big word disabilities. You are a smart sister.

    How often do the paralympics happen? Or are they every 4 years like the Olympics? Also is there winter Paralympics as well ?
