class="article-description"> <p> Milano Cortina 2026 has unveiled the “Look of the Games,” showcasing the brand and design elements that embody the visual identity of the Paralympic and Olympic Winter Games. Inspired by the new “Italian Spirit,” the design draws inspiration from Italy’s rich culture and values. This influence has crafted an iconic and dynamic graphic language intended to capture the hearts and unite audiences, creating a unique and memorable experience during the Games. The Look of the Games is not just a design concept, but it is the visual identity that characterises each edition of the Games. It reflects the soul, heritage and cultural artistry of the host nation. The Look of the Games will be showcased across venues and slopes, in the host cities. It will be that unmistakable image recognised by billions of viewers on their screens, felt by fans on the slopes and in the arenas, and accompanying the media in telling the stories of the great achievements of the top athletes in winter sports. </p> </div> <a href="/video/look-games-unveiled-milano-cortina-2026-paralympic-winter-games" class="btn-black" title="Read More"> <span class="btn-text">Read More</span> </a> </div> </div> </article> <article class="article-item"> <div class="article-wrap"> <div class="article-thumbnail"> <figure class="img-box"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/image_crop_3_4_800_1067/public/2024-11/C-Pool%20Worlds.jpg?itok=VK4hHz3u" alt="Players enter the ice hockey rink" importance="low"> </figure> </div> <div class="article-content"> <div class="article-meta"> <span class="meta meta-category">Para Ice Hockey</span> </div> <h2 class="article-title"> Bangkok 2024: All you need to know as puck drops at C-Pool Worlds in Thailand</h2> <div class="article-description"> <p>Four teams compete from 26 to 30 November with Finland keen to regain a spot in the B-Pool as Australia return to international ice after six-year hiatus and Austria aim to repeat their 2016 winning show, while the hosts target their first victory at the Thailand International Ice Hockey Arena</p> </div> <a href="/news/bangkok-2024-all-you-need-know-puck-drops-c-pool-worlds-thailand" class="btn-black" title="Read More"> <span class="btn-text">Read More</span> </a> </div> </div> </article> <article class="article-item"> <div class="article-wrap"> <div class="article-thumbnail"> <figure class="img-box"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/image_crop_3_4_800_1067/public/2024-11/Athletes%27%20Council%20group%20photo%202024_0.jpg?itok=Sv0PYOkR" alt="Nine members of the IPC Athletes' Council pose for a photograph at the IPC headquarters" importance="low"> </figure> </div> <div class="article-content"> <div class="article-meta"> <span class="meta meta-category">IPC</span> </div> <h2 class="article-title"> Inaugural session of newly elected IPC Athletes’ Council held in Bonn</h2> <div class="article-description"> <p>Members of the Athletes' Council gathered for a three-day meeting at the IPC headquarters in Bonn, Germany, to learn more about the governance structure of the IPC, classification and anti-doping, among other subjects</p> </div> <a href="/news/inaugural-session-newly-elected-ipc-athletes-council-held" class="btn-black" title="Read More"> <span class="btn-text">Read More</span> </a> </div> </div> </article> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="block block-layout-builder block-inline-blockgames-news clearfix games-news template1"> <div class="title"> <span class="title-txt"></span> </div> <div class="waf-component waf-games-news waf-theme-green waf-listing"> <div class="layout-wrapper"> <div class="waf-head"> <h3 class="title">Games News</h3> <a href="/news" class="head-anchor" title="More"> <span class='btn-text'>View more</span> </a> </div> <div class="waf-body"> <div class="preview-swiper swiper" id="gamesNews"> <div class="article-list swiper-wrapper"> <article class="article-item swiper-slide"> <div class="article-wrap"> <div class="article-thumbnail"> <figure class="img-box"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/image_crop_3_4_800_1067/public/2024-09/Closing%20Ceremony%2C%20Aurelie%20Aubert.jpg?itok=hC-bza9f" alt="Aurelie Aubert blows out the Paralympic flame.

It was not until after World War II, however, that it was widely introduced. The purpose of it at that time was to assist the large number of war veterans and civilians who had been injured during wartime.</p> <p>On 29 July 1948, the day of the Opening Ceremony of the London 1948 Olympic Games, Dr. Ludwig Guttmann organised a competition for wheelchair athletes at the Stoke Mandeville Hospital in Great Britain. Sixteen injured servicemen and women took part in archery at the inaugural Stoke Mandeville Games, which later became the Paralympic Games.</p> </div> <a href="https://www.paralympic.org/ipc/history" class="btn-black"> <span class="btn-text">Read More</span> </a> </div> </div> </article> <article class="article-item swiper-slide"> <div class="article-wrap"> <div class="article-thumbnail"> <a href="https://www.paralympic.org/classification"> <figure class="img-box"> <img class="lazy" loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/large_original/public/2024-07/resized%20-%20Tokyo%202020%20athletics%20-%20overhead.jpg?itok=yp44jp8b" alt="What is classification?" importance="low"> </figure> </a> </div> <div class="article-content"> <a href="https://www.paralympic.org/classification"> <h2 class="article-title"> What is classification? </h2> </a> <div class="article-description"> <p>Classification is the cornerstone of the Paralympic Movement; it determines which athletes are eligible to compete in a sport and how athletes are grouped together for competition. In Para sports, athletes are grouped by the degree of activity limitation resulting from the impairment. This, to a certain extent, is similar to grouping athletes by age, gender or weight.</p> <p>Classification aims to minimise the impact of the impairment on athletes' performance so that the sporting excellence determines which athlete or team is ultimately victorious. Ensuring that athletes are classified prior to competing is crucial to safeguarding the integrity and credibility of the competition. </p> </div> <a href="https://www.paralympic.org/classification" class="btn-black"> <span class="btn-text">Read More</span> </a> </div> </div> </article> <article class="article-item swiper-slide"> <div class="article-wrap"> <div class="article-thumbnail"> <a href="https://www.paralympic.org/sports"> <figure class="img-box"> <img class="lazy" loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/large_original/public/2024-07/1806637.jpeg?itok=Z6MwI81_" alt="What are the Paralympic sports?" importance="low"> </figure> </a> </div> <div class="article-content"> <a href="https://www.paralympic.org/sports"> <h2 class="article-title"> What are the Paralympic sports? </h2> </a> <div class="article-description"> <p>The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) recognises a total of 28 Paralympic sports.
