Paralympic Games – Latest News & Stories

If you love sport and want to see amazing athletes push limits, the Paralympic Games are where the action lives. Every four years we get a showcase of talent, technology and raw determination that beats any ordinary competition. Below you’ll find the most useful bits about what’s happening now, who to watch, and how you can stay in the loop without missing a beat.

What’s happening right now?

The next Paralympic cycle is already buzzing with qualifiers, national trials and early heats. In Africa, South Africa’s wheelchair sprinters are posting sub‑11 second 100m times, while Nigeria’s blind football team just clinched a spot for the upcoming Games after beating Ghana in a nail‑biting final. Kenya’s para marathoners have been training at high altitude, aiming to break the long‑standing record set in Tokyo.

Besides the big names, there are fresh faces making headlines. Ethiopia’s first ever para taekwondo competitor qualified by winning gold at the continental championship. Meanwhile, a young Egyptian powerlifter broke his personal best by 15kg and is now a medal favourite. These stories prove that Paralympic talent isn’t just in one country – it spreads across the continent.

Don’t forget the technology side of things. New carbon‑fiber prosthetic blades are lighter and faster, giving athletes more confidence on the track. A recent study showed a 3% performance boost for sprinters using the latest designs, and many African teams have already ordered them for their squads.

How to follow the action

The easiest way to keep up is through our site’s tag page – it pulls together every new article, interview and video about the Paralympic Games. Bookmark it and check daily; we update as soon as a race finishes or a medal ceremony ends.

If you prefer video, most events stream live on official broadcasters like SuperSport in South Africa, TV5Monde for French‑speaking viewers, and YouTube’s Paralympic channel worldwide. Turn on notifications so you get a reminder before each session starts.

Social media is also a goldmine. Follow the hashtag #Paralympics2028 on Twitter and Instagram – athletes themselves share behind‑the‑scenes clips, training tips and personal stories that you won’t find in standard news feeds.

Lastly, consider joining local fan groups or forums. In Nairobi, there’s a Facebook community where fans discuss daily results and predict medal tallies. Engaging with other enthusiasts adds context to the raw numbers and makes the experience more fun.

Whether you’re a casual viewer or a die‑hard supporter, staying informed about the Paralympic Games has never been easier. The athletes are breaking barriers every day – it’s up to us to give them the spotlight they deserve.
