“To celebrate Paris 2024, our journal focuses on sports to support this event that will transform our daily lives while bringing joy, passion, and emotion. But beyond the results, it is the stakes of the Games that challenge us.
What will remain of these Games for the Paralympic movement and parasport? And for disability in general? How will these disciplines evolve after this event? Will it mark the beginning of a new era or the end of a cycle?
More positively, tomorrow, will sports in general and parasport in particular finally be able to earn their rightful place in society?
We dream of a future where Paralympic athletes can live from their discipline like their Olympic counterparts, creating careers, wealth, and hope for all. The youth, who sometimes struggle to accept their bodies, could find peace and acceptance of their uniqueness through sports, which are necessary to build their future and find enjoyment.
By seizing this unique opportunity, Paris 2024 will not just be a one-time event but an accelerator for lasting change by initiating a societal dynamic. We firmly believe that parasport will finally find its rightful place in our society. By celebrating inclusion through sports, we open the way to a world where everyone, regardless of their differences, can flourish and achieve their dreams.
Welcome to this new issue of SoIn, for an inclusive society, dedicated to inclusion through sports and the promising future of parasport.”Ryadh Sallem, Paralympic athlete, French and European Champion in Wheelchair Basketball and Wheelchair Rugby Capsaaa Association, Paris
