Paralympics
The Paralympic Games is held every four years and includes Para rowing.
Para rowing was introduced into the Paralympic programme in 2005 and at the Beijing 2008 Paralympic Games it was held for the first time.
The Paralympic Games are not just about winning medals, they are also about inspiring others and breaking down barriers.
