Paralympics coverage: schedules, results and athletes to watch

Want clear, fast Paralympics news that matters to African fans? You’re in the right place. Here we cover event schedules, key results, standout athletes, and how to follow live from anywhere on the continent. No fluff — just what you need to stay updated.

The Paralympics bring incredible sport and big stories. Expect sprint finishes, tactical wheelchair races, powerlifting records and mind-blowing para-swimming performances. We focus on who’s winning, who’s rising fast, and which African athletes are making history.

How Paralympics events and classifications work

Paralympic sport groups athletes by how their impairment affects performance. You’ll see class codes like T for track, F for field, and S for swimming. The number after the letter shows the level and type of impairment. This system keeps competition fair, but it can look confusing at first. We break down schedules with class labels so you know which races and finals matter for medals and rankings.

Events run across athletics, wheelchair basketball, para-cycling, para-rowing, and more. Each sport has its own heats, semis and finals. Look for live-session notes on our schedule pages so you don’t miss the big moments—say an African record attempt or a medal match involving a local favourite.

Where to watch, follow results and support athletes

Broadcast rights vary by country. Some African viewers can stream events on major sports platforms, while others get coverage through national broadcasters. We list reliable streams, TV channels and official Paralympic feeds for each major event. If streaming isn’t available in your country, our live result updates and quick match reports keep you in the loop.

Want to support athletes beyond cheering? Follow their social accounts, share their stories, and check official team pages for crowdfunding or local events. Local coverage helps athletes get sponsors and build programs that run year-round—not just during big games.

Looking for quick facts before a session? We post start times in regional zones, medal contenders to watch, and injury or classification updates that affect lineups. If you’re into stats, our quick boxes show previous records, head-to-heads and season form so you can follow the action like a pro.
