“…Destacase ainda que, entre as deficiências que participam dos Jogos (intelectual, física e visual), a predominância de atletas nas redes sociais é dos que apresentam deficiência de caráter físico. No que tange a deficiência intelectual, pode-se pensar nessa situação, pelo fato desse tipo de deficiência não estar presente nos Jogos de 2004 e 2008, sendo pouco especulado e contemplado na crescente ascensão do movimento Paralímpico no Brasil (Mello;Winckler, 2012).…”

“…O esporte Paralímpico caracteriza-se por um ambiente restrito englobando ao todo 25 modalidades, sendo 20 de verão e cinco de inverno. Além disso, acrescenta-se uma maior restrição em função do processo de classificação esportiva, realizada por uma equipe médica credenciada e que permite a classificação funcional ou médica (Mello;Winckler;2012). A partir dessa classificação, determina-se quem são os atletas elegíveis ou inelegíveis para a prática das modalidades.…”

“…A deficiência visual caracteriza-se pelo comprometimento que não pode ser compensado por nenhum aparelho em ambos os olhos. E no caso da deficiência intelectual caracteriza-se pelo comprometimento cognitivo e prejuízo no funcionamento adaptativo correspondente a sua fase de desenvolvimento (Mello;Winckler;2012;Greguol;Costa;. O esporte para pessoas com deficiência tem seus primeiros relatos no começo do século XX e surge como uma ferramenta de reabilitação, tornando-se palco para o alto desempenho apenas no final da década de 1990.…”

“…Embora o alto rendimento seja a manifestação mais conhecida, um fenômeno complexo como o esporte não se resume em um ambiente no qual o mais importante seja, simplesmente, ganhar ou perder. Com o movimento Paralímpico tornando-se um fenômeno de grande proporção, por influência do esporte Olímpico, mesmo tendo processos históricos divergentes com relação a origem e desenvolvimento, o esporte Olímpico e Paralímpico podem convergir com relação a manifestação da prática esportiva (Mello;Winckler;2012;Santos et al, 2019).…”

“…Os atletas a partir de suas próprias percepções, conseguem expressar através do próprio corpo e da sua vida aspectos como a qualidade de vida, a saúde, a inclusão social e a interferências do esporte na sua rotina. Para esses atletas as condições de saúde e de rendimento do esporte vão além de dados estatísticos, pois representam um novo estilo de vida que provoca mudanças pessoais importantes potencializando as suas limitações (Araújo, 2011;Mello;Winckler;2012).…”

The objective of this research was to analyze how the participation of Brazilian Paralympic athletes in the Rio 2016 Games influenced the development of their digital social networks until the Parapan-American Games Lima 2019, focusing specifically on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. The study was of a quantitative and descriptive nature. The sample included 26 Brazilian athletes. The main findings of the research were that for Paralympic athletes the network that presented the highest growth potential was Facebook. In addition, most participants represent the most popular Paralympic modalities in Brazil: swimming and athletics. It is also noteworthy that athletes with physical disabilities are the most active in social networks when compared with visual and intellectual. The movement of social networks in the context of Paralympic athletes was explored, and considerations that may contribute to the qualification and greater reach of these tools in the Paralympic context as a means of forming a sports culture more qualified.

The Paralympic Games (PG) are the biggest showcase of disability. Thanks to their growing popularity, they are gradually getting a space in television and social networks and are conquering a space in the print and digital press. Therefore, it is important to guarantee the quality of the coverage of the event and of the messages that are sent about people with disabilities. It is also important to understand what factors interfere with this coverage and these messages. In this context, we developed a study that had as a goal to understand the process of news production about the 2016 Rio PG by Brazilian journalists. We used a descriptive, exploratory, and qualitative approach based on some attributes of the newsmaking and gatekeepers’ studies. We conducted 15 interviews with journalists and editors who covered the event on site or direct from the newsroom. Our results indicate that the main factors that interfered and structured the journalists conditions of production and routines during the coverage of the 2016 Rio PG were: some business issues (prioritization of audience interests and the exclusivity of broadcasting rights); some logistical issues (limitation of coverage to contents that could be accessed from the newsroom; accessibility barriers for journalists with disabilities; transportation between arenas, and reduced teams of journalists); and journalists’ level preparedness to cover the event. The interviews also revealed that the main news criteria for content selection were expected victories and medals, proximity, and curiosity. They said they emphasized content that valued athletes’ sportsmanship and narratives of overcoming adversity.

There are claims that the Paralympic Games (PG) might contribute to a better world for people with disabilities (PWD). However, there are also claims that the PG might in fact be counterproductive to the PWD’s rights movement because they might promote the medical model of disability and/or ableism. In this context, we developed a qualitative exploratory study to investigate the legacies of the Rio 2016 PG from the perspective of disability rights activists and people involved in Paralympic sport managerial positions. In this article, we discuss one of the main perceived legacies that the PG fostered PWD’s visibility and a change in society’s perception of PWD. We conducted 24 open in-depth interviews and found that, for our participants, the PG worked as a showcase for PWD who were rarely seen in the media and in public spaces before the Games. This visibility helped to challenge negative stereotypes and stigmas associated with PWD, as well as possibly opening new doors for them. Our interviewees believe that we shouldn’t expect that the PG alone can change people’s perceptions and PWD’s status overnight. They are part of a larger and complex set of actions that are slowly contributing to this process.
