The 2024 Paralympic Games began in Paris on August 28, 2024, and will conclude on September 8, 2024. 

Google’s Doodle on September 5 highlights the Para Powerlifting event, symbolizing strength and resilience through playful artwork featuring birds and a baguette. 

Para Powerlifting, a test of upper body strength, is one of the most demanding sports in the Paralympics, pushing athletes to their physical and mental limits. 

Powerlifting was officially introduced to the Paralympic Games in 1984, with women’s competitions starting in Sydney in 2000. 

Competitors must lower the barbell to their chest, pause, and then press it to full arm extension, awaiting the referee's signal to complete the lift. 

Athletes compete in various weight categories, with men and women grouped according to their body weight for fair competition. 

Each lift in Para Powerlifting requires a delicate combination of strength, timing, and control to achieve success.
