A total of 22 gold medals, including several in track cycling and swimming, are up for grabs on day one in Paris.
A spectacular opening ceremony marked the start of the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games as athletes paraded along the iconic Champs-Elysees to Place de la Concorde in glorious conditions on Wednesday evening. As with the Olympic Games, the Paralympics opening ceremony was held outside of a stadium for the first time in the French capital.
Organisers estimated 65,000 people would be present, with spectators able to watch the parade for free before the ticketed open-air event. Tony Estanguet, president of the Paris 2024 organising committee, said the opening ceremony represented the start of 'the Paralympic revolution' led by the athletes. 'What makes you revolutionaries is that, when they told you 'no', you continued,' Estanguet said.
