We are days away from seeing more than 4,000 athletes from around the world including Bermuda gather in Paris for the world’s biggest showcase of Para sports.
Bermuda Paralympic Association President Ann Lindroth and Team Bermuda’s Chef de Mission Lorri Lewis have arrived in Paris ahead of Bermuda’s Jessica Lewis, and Yushae DeSilva Andrade.
This will be DeSilva Andrade’s second appearance and Lewis’ fourth at the Paralympic Games.
The Opening Ceremony will take place August 28th, and will serve as a grand kickoff to the 12-day sporting event, which will feature 549 medal events across 22 sports. Athletes will shine in the ‘City of Light’ as they compete at some of the most iconic landmarks in France.
While Paris 2024 will be a return to the spotlight for many Paralympic champions and multi-medalists, there will be plenty of debutants waiting anxiously as they prepare for the biggest moment of their lives.
