In what year did the Paralympics begin to be broadcast internationally?

The Paralympics began to be broadcast internationally in 1992, coinciding with the Summer Paralympic Games held in Barcelona. This significant moment marked a turning point for the visibility and recognition of athletes with disabilities on a global scale. Prior to this, the Paralympics had limited exposure to worldwide audiences, which hindered the growth and awareness of the event.

The 1992 Games were particularly groundbreaking as they were the first to be held directly after the Olympic Games, creating a cohesive spotlight on both events. This shift allowed for enhanced media coverage and set the stage for future advancements in broadcasting and support for the Paralympic movement. The increased visibility has significantly contributed to the evolution of the Games and the promotion of disability sports in general.

The other years listed do not correspond with the first instance of international broadcasts for the Paralympics.
