تطور دورة الألعاب الأولمبية للمعاقين - مقارنة بين 1964 و2020

August 24, 2021 - September 5, 2021 - ستصبح طوكيو أول مدينة تستضيف المعاقين مرتين، بعد استضافتهم سابقاً في العام 1964. تعد دورة الألعاب الأولمبية للمعاقين الآن ثالث أكبر حدث رياضي في العالم بعد الألعاب الأولمبية وكأس الفيفا لبطولة كأس العالم.

In 1964, 378 athletes from 21 countries competed in nine sports – the first time a Paralympic Games had been held in Asia. The sports were archery, athletics, dartchery, snooker, swimming, table tennis, weightlifting, wheelchair basketball and wheelchair fencing.

It is anticipated that around 4,400 athletes will take part in the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics – a more than 11-fold increase from 1964. A total of 22 sports will feature at the Games, with badminton and taekwondo included for the first time.
