The countdown is on for the Paris 2024 Paralympics Opening Ceremony in Place de la Concorde on 28 August starting at 20:00 CET. The Paris 2024 organisers talk about an “unprecedented” Paralympics Opening Ceremony including the Atheletes Parade of Nations which will commence on the Champs-Elysees. Will the same “Cauldron” be used from the Summer Games as it was located a short distance nearby to Place de la Concorde? Probably. Looking forward to us watching this Ceremony together.

I'd like to start a discussion on the current state of the Paralympics and what it could be in the future. Let's hash out the pros and cons of the Paralympic Games being staged before, alongside, and after the Olympics. Let's talk event logistics, impacts on media, political influence, effect on athletes, etc. There are so many angles to look at. At first thought, I'd really like it to be staged during the Olympics, by extending the Olympic program another two weeks to accommodate Paralympic events being fully integrated throughout. I mean, "para" infers that they run parallel to the Olympics. Last time I checked, AFTER isn't "running parallel." Further analysis to come!
