Paris Paralympics 2024: In honor of the Powerlifting competition at the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris, Google has refreshed its doodle. The competition, which features competitors in some categories, takes place from September 4 to September 8.
With a special doodle, Google has once again demonstrated its support for para-athletes as the 2024 Paralympic Games commence in Paris. In honor of the Para Powerlifting 2024, Google refreshed its doodle on September 5th, presenting an imaginative and entertaining design. The doodle shows a chicken at the “Aréna Porte de La Chapelle” hoisting what looks to be a loaf of bread, with another chick perched on top and nibbling on the bread.

Athletes competing in a variety of categories will take part in the Powerlifting event, which got underway on September 4 and runs through September 8.
According to the rules of the official Paralympic website, Para Powerlifting is a sport designed for athletes with disabilities that allows competitors with one or more of eight recognized physical impairments to compete.
