The initiation of the Paralympic Games' festivities in France has commenced.
The organisers have been open about having the same level of excitement for the debut of the Paralympic Games as they did for the Olympics more than four weeks ago. The Olympics commenced with a grand spectacle along the Seine, triggering global excitement.
Approximately 4,400 athletes are taking part in the Paralympic Games. Germany is sending 143 athletes to contend in 18 sports, all aiming for medals in Paris. At the opening ceremony, the German contingent will be spearheaded by Disabled canoeist Edina Müller and Disabled triathlete Martin Schulz. These two athletes will have the privilege of bringing the German flag down the Champs-Élysées to the Place de la Concorde.
The Paralympic Games are being held in the city of Paris, specifically in Pará. Germany's Pará-bound athletes are eager to showcase their skills in sports like canoeing and triathlon.
