Malmo Open – An International Parasport Event Format

For the second time I have just had the opportunity to visit one of the largest Parasport events in the world – Malmo Open. The whole thing got started in 1977 with just one single sport on the program, Table Tennis, and in 2016 it became the second biggest event behind the Paralympic Games, with 18 sports and 2518 athletes. Yes, make no mistake about it – that is how the participants are seeing themselves, and if you think that this may be slightly exaggerated, then clearly you have not witnessed these athletes in action!
