The Paris Paralympics begin on Wednesday with a spectacular opening ceremony in a city still on a high after the highly successful Olympics.
A new generation of Paralympians will join seasoned veterans competing in many of the same venues that hosted Olympic sports.
Kenya will not be left behind as its athletes will be among those who will be striving to win medals at the Paralympics.
A total of 18 of the 35 Olympic venues will be used for the Paralympics, which run until September 8, including the Grand Palais which scored rave reviews for its hosting of the fencing and taekwondo under an ornate roof.
