In what year was the Paralympic Agitos first used?

The correct answer is the year 2004 because that was when the Paralympic Agitos—a symbol comprising three agitos in different colors—was first introduced. This design was created to reflect the spirit of the Paralympic Games and symbolizes the movement of athletes with disabilities. The Agitos represents the idea of "rising up" and conveys the message of movement, determination, and ambition.

Prior to 2004, the symbol that represented the Paralympic Games was different, and it wasn't until that year during the Athens 2004 Paralympic Games that the Agitos came into use. The introduction of the Agitos marked a new era for the branding of the Paralympic movement and allowed for a more unified visual identity, setting it apart from other sports organizations and increasing its recognition globally.

The other years mentioned do not correspond with the first use of the Paralympic Agitos; thus they do not accurately reflect when this significant symbol was introduced to represent the values of the Paralympic movement.
