The Paralympic Games are major international sports competitions for athletes with disabilities, similar to the Olympic Games. They include both Winter and Summer Games, occurring alternately every two years. Since the late 20th century the Paralympics have been held in the same city that hosts the corresponding Olympic Games; the Paralympics follow shortly after the Olympics conclude.
