Wheelchairs are integral parts for few us. But before any person who has taken sports as his or her profession it is not easy to sit on a wheelchair having lost both legs in an accident. Since it is not easy to recover from the frame of mind set that he or she is born to play the specific kind of sports, so the engineers have developed the way for physically impaired personals to participate in sports while sitting on their wheelchairs.
Wheelchair sports are very common in developed countries like United States of America, England, Russia, China etc. but wheelchair sports are not very common in under developed countries. A huge number of People who use wheelchairs live in south Asia and Africa where these types of activities are not much popular. To develop the interest among those countries about wheelchair sports it is very important that one should create awareness among the masses of those areas as well.

When we talk about wheelchair sports some names that come in our minds are Basketball and wheelchair racing. But not many of us know that wheelchair tennis and wheelchair badminton are also included in that category. Basketball and wheelchair racing are very much popular thus they have good number of fan following as well.

International tournaments are held for wheelchair sports. There held Paralympics for the people who play wheelchair sports. Great number of people watches those games and athletes from different countries participate and put their best effort in order to win gold. We see the same spirit in Paralympics that we see in Olympics.

There are sponsors as well as advertisement ageneses that proudly present wheelchair sports. Some clubs and stadiums are also serving as the source for playing wheelchair sports. Though it is hard to promote these sports in countries which are going through financial and political turmoil, yet our efforts can make a difference.
