The Paralympic games highlight the capacity of human achievement -- defying the odds through perseverance, triumph, undeniable ambition and skill. Watch in awe this August 24th-September 5th as these global role models compete in the 16th summer Paralympic games in Tokyo, Japan.
Tokyo will welcome Paralympians for the second time, as the city previously hosted in 1964. Paralympians from 22 sports will compete across 537 events in the following two weeks. Much like the Olympics, the games also include new sports. Badminton and Taekwondo will feature for the first time in Paralympic history this year.
