Parasports

Iris Pruysen competes in the long jump at the 2014 Paris Athletics Paralympic Meeting.

Parasports are sports played by people with a disability, including physical and intellectual disabilities.[1] Some parasports are forms of adapted physical activities from existing non-disabled sports, while others have been specifically created for persons with a disability and do not have a non-disabled equivalent. Disability exists in four categories: physical, mental, permanent and temporary. At a competitive level, disability sport classifications are applied to allow people of varying abilities to face similar opposition.
