Final ParalympicsGB Para athletics names confirmed for Paris 2024

The final Para athletics team for the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games has been announced by ParalympicsGB today. After 10 athletes were selected in the first wave of selection in June, 23 athletes join the squad to represent ParalympicsGB in the French capital next month.

Among the names added to the team are multiple Paralympic medallists Dan Greaves and David Weir who have both been called up to their seventh Games. Greaves has won a medal at every Games dating back to Sydney 2000, while Weir has a decorated career at the highest level of the sport and is fondly remembered for his heroics for ParalympicsGB in London 2012 as well as multiple marathon successes around the world.

Greaves said: “To be selected to represent ParalympicsGB on the ultimate stage, the Paralympic Games is such a huge honour. I got the exact same feelings as I did back in 2000 when I was selected for my first Games. The selection call is both exciting and also a relief.

“I can’t wait to get my hands on the kit, chilling with all the athletes in the village and of course, competing in the Stade de France for the greatest prize.

“I love to represent my country and I couldn’t be prouder to wear the red, white & blue in Paris. Each previous Games holds a special memory and I am hoping to make many more over the channel in a few weeks’ time.”

Two-time Paralympic champion Jonnie Peacock also joins the squad to contest the T64 100m and the Universal 4x100m relay, while reigning Paralympic champions Sophie Hahn and Thomas Young are called-up for the T38 100m, with Hahn also part of the relay squad.

There are seven athletes competing at their first Paralympic Games including Boston Marathon winner Eden Rainbow-Cooper and Commonwealth Youth Games champion, Madeline Down.

Karim Chan, Funmi Oduwaiye, Didi Okoh and Marcus Perrineau-Daley are the other first-time selected athletes, while Harrison Walsh, who was called up to Tokyo before having to withdraw due to injury, is also among the athletes in the team for Paris.

Debutant, Eden Rainbow-Cooper added, “I am so excited to be selected for my first Paralympic Games. This has been a dream of mine since I was 12 years-old, so to get to go to Paris is truly beyond belief. I can’t wait to get out there and give it my all at the Games.”

ParalympicsGB Chef de Mission, Penny Briscoe for Paris 2024, said, “Every Para athlete in this squad has shown terrific talent and determination to secure their place on the ParalympicsGB team for Paris 2024 and I am so proud to welcome such a superb mix of experienced Paralympians alongside those for whom Paris 2024 will be their first Games. I’m really excited to see what our Para athletes can achieve in Paris in just over one month’s time.”

Katie Jones, Head of Paralympic Performance at UK Athletics added, “We are delighted to confirm our final team for the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games. The athletes have worked incredibly hard to earn their places at the Games, so we are taking a high-quality team to Paris next month.

“We have several experienced athletes returning to the Games environment, and also a number of debutants who have raised their game this year to book their places in the squad. I wish all the athletes the best of luck with their preparation in the last few weeks before the Games and look forward to watching them perform next month.”

At Tokyo 2020 ParalympicsGB won medals across a record breaking 18 different sports – the highest number of any nation ever. ParalympicsGB finished second on the medal table with 124 medals overall, including 41 gold, 38 silver and 45 bronze. A total of 213 athletes from 19 sports are expected to make up the British team that will compete in Paris.

If the world were run by differently-abled people and able-bodied individuals were a minority, the societal structure, norms, and priorities would likely be significantly different from what we see today. Here are some speculative considerations and potential outcomes:

Infrastructure and Accessibility:
1) Buildings, public spaces, and transportation systems would be designed primarily with accessibility in mind, benefiting those with mobility, sensory, or cognitive challenges.
2) Universal design principles would be standard, ensuring that environments are usable by everyone, regardless of ability.

Technology and Innovation:
1) Advances in assistive technologies would be prioritized and rapidly developed. Innovations would focus on enhancing the lives of differently-abled individuals.
2) Communication technologies might be more advanced in accommodating various ways people interact with the world, such as through sign language, braille, and voice-to-text systems.

Healthcare and Support Services:
1) Medical research and healthcare services would focus more on conditions and disabilities affecting the majority population, leading to potentially better treatments and support systems.
2) Mental health and well-being services would be tailored to address the unique challenges faced by differently-abled individuals.

Social Norms and Attitudes:
1) Society would likely be more inclusive and accepting of differences, with less stigma attached to disabilities.
2) Educational systems would be designed to be fully inclusive, providing support and resources tailored to diverse needs from an early age.

Work and Employment:
1) Workplaces would be adapted to accommodate a variety of abilities, with flexible work arrangements and adaptive technologies being the norm.
2) Employment policies would focus on inclusivity and equitable opportunities for differently-abled individuals.

Representation and Media:
1) Differently-abled individuals would be prominently represented in media, politics, and leadership roles, shaping public perceptions and policies.
2) Stories and content in media would reflect diverse experiences and challenges, fostering a more inclusive cultural narrative.

Legislation and Rights:
1) Laws and policies would be crafted with a focus on protecting the rights and promoting the welfare of differently-abled individuals.
2) Discrimination based on ability would be rigorously opposed, and there would be strong legal frameworks to ensure equality.

Economic Impact:
1) Economic policies might be geared towards creating a supportive environment for differently-abled individuals, with investments in accessible infrastructure and technologies.
2) Industries related to assistive technology and accessibility solutions could become major economic drivers.

In such a scenario, the lived experiences of able-bodied individuals might involve navigating a world not primarily designed for them, which could include challenges in accessibility and a need for adaptation. This inversion of societal norms would provide an opportunity to reflect on how inclusivity and equity can shape a more compassionate and supportive world for everyone, regardless of ability.

Capable World Ltd CEO Vinil Gupta Highlights the Importance of Giving Back at Summer Festival

Milngavie, Glasgow, July 20, 2024 – In a powerful and heartfelt address at the Summer Festival held at Milngavie Town Hall, Vinil Gupta, the CEO of Capable World Ltd, underscored the critical importance of giving back to society. Capable World Ltd, renowned for its commitment to exclusively employing persons with disabilities (PWD), continues to set a sterling example of corporate social responsibility and inclusive employment.

During his speech, Gupta shared his vision for a more inclusive and supportive community. He emphasized that businesses have a moral obligation to contribute positively to society, particularly in empowering marginalized groups. “At Capable World Ltd, we believe that our strength lies in our diversity and our commitment to making a difference,” Gupta stated. “By providing opportunities to PWD members, we not only enhance their quality of life but also enrich our company with their unique perspectives and talents.”

The event, held in the heart of Glasgow, attracted a diverse audience, including local community members, business leaders, and advocates for disability rights. Gupta’s speech was met with enthusiastic applause and served as a reminder of the profound impact that businesses can have when they prioritize inclusivity and community engagement.

Capable World Ltd continues to lead by example, demonstrating that profitability and social responsibility can go hand in hand. As Gupta concluded his address, he called on other businesses to follow suit, urging them to integrate social responsibility into their core operations. “Let’s work together to build a world where everyone has the opportunity to succeed, regardless of their abilities,” he urged.

In a world where water is abundant, yet safe drinking water is scarce, a similar paradox exists in the realm of employment for differently-abled individuals. Despite the availability of jobs, many of these individuals face significant barriers in finding meaningful employment. This situation highlights a critical issue in society, akin to the famous line from “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner”: “Water, water, everywhere, but not a drop to drink.”

Capable, an organization dedicated to empowering differently-abled individuals, deeply understands this struggle. They recognize that while job opportunities are plentiful, the accessibility and suitability of these jobs for differently-abled individuals are often limited. The challenges range from physical accessibility to workplace accommodations and overcoming prejudices.

Through comprehensive efforts, Capable aims to transform the employment landscape for differently-abled individuals, ensuring that they have equitable access to opportunities and can thrive in their chosen careers. By addressing the systemic barriers and fostering inclusive practices, Capable is working towards a future where differently-abled individuals can find meaningful and fulfilling employment, thus bringing about significant societal change.

Capable World Ltd is proud to announce its sponsorship of the summer camp organized by the Ethnic Minority Forum in East Dunbartonshire, scheduled for the 20th of July, 2024. This initiative underscores Capable World Ltd’s ongoing commitment to fostering inclusivity and empowering diverse communities.

The summer camp promises a day filled with engaging activities designed to celebrate cultural diversity and promote social cohesion. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in workshops, sports, arts, and various recreational activities that encourage interaction and mutual understanding among different ethnic groups. By supporting this event, Capable World Ltd aims to provide a platform where individuals from various backgrounds can come together, share experiences, and build lasting connections.

Capable World Ltd is also dedicated to mainstreaming people living with disabilities, ensuring they have equal opportunities to participate fully in society. This commitment is reflected in the inclusive nature of the summer camp, where special accommodations and tailored activities will be available to ensure that everyone, regardless of ability, can enjoy and benefit from the event.

Through initiatives like this, Capable World Ltd strives to create an environment where all individuals, including those with disabilities, are recognized for their unique contributions and are provided with the support they need to thrive. The company’s involvement in the summer camp organized by the Ethnic Minority Forum is a testament to its dedication to social responsibility and community engagement.
