The Paralympic Games are a time to witness epic competitions and be reminded that nothing is impossible!
We are just 16 days away from the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, scheduled for August 28th.
The Greek team for the 2024 Paralympic Games consists of 37 members, including 10 medalists from the Tokyo Games.
The Greek flag bearer will be the illustrious Manolis Stefanoudakis. The Paralympian from Mesaria, who has claimed every title in the world’s top competitions throughout his remarkable career, is the greatest javelin thrower of all times.
