| The
Paralympic Games competition schedule includes 19 sports. Fifteen of them are
shared with the Olympic Games, while the other four are exclusively Paralympic.
The four ¡°unique¡± sports that are played at the Paralympic Games are: Boccia,
Goalball, Powerlifting and Wheelchair Rugby.
World Paralympic records are comparable with those of
Olympic athletes (for example, in the Men¡¯s 100m), or even exceed able-bodied
world records (which is the case with Powerlifting).
Whereas some sports are open to all or most disability
groups, in other sports athletes from only one disability group can participate.
