The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) Governing Board has approved a proposal from the LA28 Organising Committee to include Para climbing into the 2028 Paralympic Sport Programme.
This means that the LA28 Paralympic Games will now feature 23 sports – the 22 sports that were initially approved by the IPC in January 2023, and Para climbing which will make its Paralympic debut in 2028.
The 23 sports that will be included in the LA28 Paralympic Games are: Blind football, Boccia, Goalball, Para archery, Para athletics, Para badminton, Para canoe, Para climbing, Para cycling, Para equestrian, Para judo, Para powerlifting, Para rowing, Para swimming, Para table tennis, Para taekwondo, Para triathlon, Shooting Para sport, Sitting volleyball, Wheelchair basketball, Wheelchair fencing, Wheelchair rugby, and Wheelchair tennis.
At Rio 2016, Para canoe and Para triathlon were included in the Paralympic Games sport programme for the first time, while at Tokyo 2020 Para badminton and Para taekwondo made their Paralympic debuts.
The International Paralympic Committee’s vision is to make for an inclusive world through Para sport. Our mission is to lead the Paralympic Movement, oversee the delivery of the Paralympic Games and support members to enable Para athletes to achieve sporting excellence.
