After a mesmerising summer of action at the Paris 2024 Olympics, the Paralympics - also taking place in the French capital - now take centre stage.

The quadrennial event allows the world's most celebrated parasports athletes to fly the flag high for their nations on the biggest stage of them all, and Great Britain are well-stocked with medal hopefuls.

GB ended the 2024 Olympics with 65 podium placements, only behind the United States and China when it came to overall medals, although a total of 14 golds was slightly underwhelming.

Now, 215 Paralympians will endeavour to achieve Parisian stardom for GB, with 116 men and 99 women forming a part of at least 4,000 athletes from 184 delegations at the Games.

Here, Sports Mole provides an in-depth guide to this year's Paralympics, including how to watch and the best GB athletes to look out for.


When is the Paris 2024 Paralympics?

The 2024 Paralympics will be held from August 28 until the closing ceremony on September 8, with the opening ceremony on the former day seeing athletes parade through the French capital.


How can I watch the Paris 2024 Paralympics?

Channel 4 has exclusive rights to the Paralympics this year, and events will be streamed live on the channel on every day of the Games, starting early in the morning and running late into the night.

Viewers can also watch the Paralympics on the Channel 4 streaming service and More4, as well as Channel 4's official YouTube Channel.


Which sports are taking place at the 2024 Paralympics?

There will be no fewer than 22 sports featuring at this year's Paris 2024 Paralympics, although unlike the Olympics - where breaking made its Games debut - there are no new events at this year's edition.

List of Paris 2024 Paralympics sports:

  • Archery

  • Athletics

  • Badminton

  • Boccia

  • Cycling

  • Equestrian

  • Five-a-side football

  • Goalball

  • Judo

  • How many gold medals are on offer at the Paris 2024 Paralympics?

    A staggering 549 medal events will take place over 12 days of action at this year's Paralympics, including a record 235 golds on offer for women and 314 for male competitors.


    How many medals did GB win at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics?

    Three years ago, Great Britain won a total of 124 medals at the Tokyo Paralympics, including 41 golds, 38 silvers and 45 bronzes, to finish second in the overall table behind China's astonishing total of 207.

    That was four better than GB managed at their London 2012 home games, but significantly fewer than the Rio 2016 Paralympics, where they achieved 147 podium placements.


    Best British athletes to look out for at the Paris 2024 Paralympics

    Still going incredibly strong at the age of 46, Dame Sarah Storey - GB's greatest Paralympian of all time - competes at a staggering ninth successive Games since making her debut as a teenager at the 1992 edition.

    The cycling and swimming extraordinaire has won a monumental 17 Paralympic golds throughout her distinguished career, and her total of 28 podium placements makes her the sixth-most decorated Paralympian of all time.

    Another headline name - Hannah Cockroft - bids to add to her incredible tally of seven Paralympic golds in wheelchair racing, while Alice Tai and Maisie Summers-Newton are among the world-beating swimmers to look out for.

    One of the dominant forces in wheelchair tennis, Alfie Hewett became Wimbledon champion earlier this summer - his ninth singles Grand Slam title - and endeavours to go one better than his silver at Rio.

    From tennis to table tennis, and Will Bayley is the reigning world number one, while boccia legend David Smith is gunning for a third straight Paralympic title in the individual BC1 event.
