Do you know the Para Games? The Asian Para Games are held every four years to help people with disabilities overcome physical disabilities through sports and to promote understanding among them. Here, the word "para-" in Greek means side by side and together. It was created with the aim of improving the welfare and quality of life for the disabled, promoting mutual understanding and friendship between countries, and promoting rehabilitation of people with disabilities in the Asia-Pacific region through sports. Just as the Paralympics open when the Olympics close, the Ferrer Games open when the Asian Games close. And this year, the 4th Asian Para Games will be held in Hangzhou, China, from October 22, to October 28, this year. A total of 43 countries participated, with 616 events across 22 sports. Republic of Korea finally ranked fourth overall.

 At the opening ceremony of the Para game, two children with disabilities and two children without disabilities entered the stadium to mark the start. One blindfolded child reached out and groped through the air, and a bouquet of Osmanthus flowers surrounded them. After the team entered, 36 wheelchair dancers and 36 nondisabled dancers joined the stage. They showed body movements that encourage each other while keeping pace with the music. During the choreography, the boundaries and distinctions between them gradually disappeared. The theme of the opening ceremony of the Para Games held at the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center Stadium in China on the 22nd, which depicts a lotus flower, was "Heart meet, Dreams Shine." Through performances involving both disabled and non-disabled people, the purpose of the Asian Para Games was reflected, and the scent of Osmanthus flowers was spread throughout the stadium so that both players and spectators could combine together. Starting from Afghanistan to China, 5,121 people from 44 countries entered one after another. Whenever each flag fluttered, the crowd cheered and applauded, and the athletes raised their hands in response. The 159 members of Republic of Korea national team, who appeared for the 15th time, waved the Korean national flag vigorously as they crossed the stadium wearing uniforms and red ties.

 In the men's 100m freestyle final held at the swimming pool on the 24th, Jo Gi-seong of the Republic of Korea won the silver medal by pressing a touchpad in second place "I am sorry I missed the gold medal, but I'm satisfied with just advancing the season's best record, which was around one minute and 31 seconds," Jo Gi-seong said after the game, adding, "I want to congratulate Suzuki. I will work hard to prepare for the rest of the competition and perform well," he said.

Kim Jeong-bin, on the national cycling team for the disabled, won the first gold medal for the Korean team at the Hangzhou Asian Para Games with his competition partner Yoon Jung-heon. They won the cycling men's 4,000m blind pursuit race in Hangzhou, beating the Malaysia group. In the tandem cycle in which Kim Jeong-bin participated, a non-disabled pilot operates the steering wheel in front of him and pedals, while the disabled player in the back moves only by pedaling. They finished the game with amazing teamwork. The Para Game ended by giving people awareness and harmony about disabled sports.
