Parasports – that’s sports for people with disabilities – has been on the rise in recent years. The London 2012 Paralympics was one of the driving forces for this, leading to a significant funding increase for the Rio Paralympics in 2016. Although the Paralympics aren’t given equal coverage everywhere, the UK made a particular effort to broadcast as much as possible on a terrestrial network in both 2012 and 2016. Parasport is becoming more popular around the world, but it does still have a long way to go before it’s regarded in the same way as sports with able-bodied athletes.
