Paralympics Excite Next Generation of Athletes and Promote Inclusivity in Sports

The Paralympic Games are just around the corner and Lowery is excited to see how they will inspire the next generation of athletes. Despite some initial hesitancy, all students left the event with a smile on their face. This goes to show that adaptive sports can be just as challenging and engaging as any other sport.

Lowery emphasized that events like these are important for promoting the understanding that para-athletes are just as skilled and competitive as traditional athletes. He hopes that by witnessing these athletes in action, students will realize that adaptive sports are still sports at the end of the day.

For those interested in witnessing the excitement, the Paralympic Games will be taking place in Paris from August 28 to September 8. It’s an opportunity to see some of the best adaptive athletes from around the world competing in a variety of sports, including track and field, swimming, wheelchair basketball and more. With so much talent on display, it’s sure to be an unforgettable experience.
