• The Olympics are an international sporting event dedicated to 'non-disabled' athletes (in the sense that they are not specific competitions for physical or sensory disabilities). They are organised by the IOC (International Olympic Committee).
• The Paralympics are similar, but reserved for athletes with physical, sensory, or intellectual disabilities. They are organised by the IPC (International Paralympic Committee). The sports are adapted (classifications, special equipment, appropriate rules) to ensure fairness between athletes with different types and degrees of disability.
• The Paralympics are always held a few days after the Olympics, in the same host city (or using the same facilities), to take advantage of the infrastructure already in place and promote inclusion.

Over 3,500 athletes from 93 countries will be competing in the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games.

The Milano Cortina 2026 Paralympic Winter Games will feature 665 Paralympic athletes from 50 countries.
