On Sunday, the Paralympics came to a close.

Paris 2024 was a hit and offered some remarkable stories. The International Paralympics Committee expects total audience figures for Paris 2024 to surpass the previous two paralympic games combined.

The Guardian's day-by-day photo galleries captured dozens of extraordinary moments, from fencingThe sport of fighting with swords. in the Grand Palais to Brazil's surprise loss to Argentina in blind football, and yesterday's women's KL3 kayak single 200m, for which Laura Sugar won Team GB's 49th and last gold medal. 

Indian archer Steetal Devi landed a perfect bullseye using just her feet, and the USA's Ezra Frech stunned the world winning gold medals for both the 100m and the high jump.

Some argue that parasports are more exciting to watch than regular sports, yet outside of the Games parasport is rarely broadcast on television.

Many believe this is unfair as, according to the World Health Organization, an estimated 16% of the world's population experience significant disability.

Yet some worry that parasports paints a false picture of disability. They could spread the idea, say researchers Erin Pearson and Laura Misener, "that any person with a disability can overcome it if they just try hard enough". 

Should parasport be on TV all year round?

Yes! Sports broadcasting enormously favours people without disabilities, especially men. This is unfair and needs to change to reflect the diversity of people competing in sports today.

No! Televised sports are competitive. Sports that thrill every four years at the Olympics, such as athletics and swimming, are not popular enough for regular broadcast.
