Sharjah 24 – WAM: The 17th edition of the Paralympic Games, "Paris 2024," begins tomorrow, Wednesday, and runs through September 8. The UAE will be represented by 14 athletes, competing in shooting, athletics, weightlifting, judo, and cycling.
The opening ceremony starts at 10 PM UAE time, set between the Champs-Elysées and Place de la Concorde in Paris, similar to the recent Olympic Games. The event will feature 5,000 athletes and officials, including 140 people of determination, with over 50,000 spectators expected. The organizing committee has also offered 15,000 free tickets.

The Paralympic torch, after touring nearly 50 cities, will arrive in Paris tomorrow, having traveled from Stoke Mandeville in Britain. Tony Estanguet, President of the Organizing Committee, has promised an exceptional showcase of athletes and competition venues, reflecting the same spirit as the Olympic Games.
