Your Shortcut to... The Paralympics

The Paralympics start next week and after a massive medal haul by
the Aussies at the recent Olympics, we're riding the Olympics train
for as long as we can... To get you geared up and ready for the
start of the games we get you across how the Paralympics came to
be, the sports included, how the often referred to
'classifications' work, and the big one - who and what to look out
for.   Squiz Shortcuts is the backstory to the big news
stories.   Squiz recommends: Reading: A Guardian article about
Paralympian Curtis McGrath who was deployed to Afghanistan and lost
both his legs just months later. It’s an incredible story about how
he turned to sport to stave off PTSD and other mental health
issues.  Watching: The best moments of the Paralympics over
the years - just to get you excited for what’s to come... See
