Kosovo's Paralympic team parades in Paris

Just like the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games, the opening ceremony of the Paralympic Games, which officially opened on Wednesday evening, was also impressive.

Among the 4,400 athletes with disabilities who will compete for 549 medals in 22 different sports was Grevist Bytyqi.

Kosovo was 82nd to parade through the historic square “Place de la Concorde”.

The Afghanistan team was the first to parade, while France, as host of the Paralympic Games, was the last.

The competitions will begin on Thursday, and the first medals will be awarded in taekwondo, table tennis, swimming and track cycling. The Paralympic Games will run for 11 days.

Three countries will make their Paralympic Games debut, and Kosovo is one of them.

Kosovo will be represented by athlete Grevist Bytyqi, who will compete in the 1500-metre race.
Kosovo has made three appearances at the Summer Olympic Games, but Kosovo's athletes were absent from the Paralympic Games in “Rio 2016” and “Tokyo 2020”.

On Wednesday evening, Bytyqi was Kosovo's flag bearer, and qualifying for the medal race would be a great achievement.
