What events are for athletes with physical, visual, or mental disabilities and use the same venues as the Olympics?

• A. Special Olympics
• B. Paralympics
• C. Invictus Games
• D. World Games

Answer: (B)

This is about the event that brings together athletes with disabilities and uses the same venues as the Olympic Games—the Paralympics. The Paralympics are designed for athletes with physical, visual, or intellectual disabilities, and they are organized to fit the same host city and many of the same venues as the Olympics, typically in the same year and in coordination with the Olympic Movement.

Special Olympics serves athletes with intellectual disabilities as well, but it operates as a separate program with its own venues and schedule. Invictus Games focus on wounded, ill, and injured military personnel, not on the broader disability categories used in the Paralympics. The World Games feature sports not currently in the Olympic program and are not tied to disability classifications.
