Paris 2024 venue masterplan
Following six-months of stakeholder engagement by the Organising Committee, the IPC Governing Board approved a new, optimised venue masterplan for the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games. The plan makes budget savings, enables certain venues to be shared, increases sustainability and further enhances the Paralympic sport programme and athlete experience.
As part of the updated plan, Para swimming will now take place at the La Défense Arena, Para powerlifting in the La Chapelle Arena and wheelchair rugby at the Champs de Mars Arena. The latter two venues will also host two Para sports back-to-back during the Games in order to drive efficiencies.

The majority of Para athletes who took part in a consultation process have signalled their desire for protests on the podium or the field of play at the Paralympic Games to remain banned, according to International Paralympic Committee (IPC) Athletes Council chairperson Chelsey Gotell.
Gotell said the IPC Athletes Council, which has held a series of workshops to gather views from athletes on demonstrations at the Games, would present its final recommendations to the Governing Board by late February.
It appears the Council will recommend existing rules which prevent protests on the podium and other areas of the field of play be maintained.
