'Spectacular' Paris Paralympics to open on Wednesday



Quote



After the delayed Tokyo Games in 2021 had to be held without fans because of the Covid pandemic, and Rio 2016 was dogged by financial issues, the pressure is on Paris to deliver an event to rival or even better the London 2012 Games.

Wednesday's opening ceremony at 19:00 BST will be focused on the Place de la Concorde, with the first of the 549 gold medals to be awarded the following day.

Action will conclude with the closing ceremony at the Stade de France on Sunday, 8 September.

Nearly two million tickets have been sold, with about 500,000 still available. After the success of the Paris Olympics, organisers say this is only half-time.
