The Paralympic Games, which will take place in Paris from August 28 to September 8, are a great opportunity to witness the excitement and passion of adaptive athletes. Lowery shared that despite some initial hesitancy, all students left the event with a smile on their face. He emphasized that events like these are important for promoting the understanding that para-athletes are just as skilled and competitive as traditional athletes.
Moreover, Lowery highlighted the misconception that adaptive and Paralympic sports are somehow inferior to mainstream sports. He hopes that events like the one held on Friday helped students realize that these sports are just as challenging and engaging as any other sport. The most important takeaway, according to Lowery, is that adaptive sports are still sports at the end of the day.
For those interested in witnessing the excitement of the Paralympic Games, they can mark their calendars for August 28 to September 8 in Paris. It’s a chance to see firsthand how adaptive athletes push themselves to their limits and showcase their skills in various sports.
