Physical description

It is a white raincoat with black details. In order to highlight the participant's disability, one sleeve is short while another is long and perforated at the armpit. It belongs to the "Sportography" table of the Opening Ceremony of the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games. This raincoat has an inner label that tells us that it was worn by a certain "Angelina".

Notes

These are pants that belong to a costume from the "Sportography" painting of the Paris 2024 Paralympic Opening Ceremony. Thousands of Paralympic athletes from the 168 delegations present marched up the Champs-Elysée to stroll through the Place de la Concorde, in the middle of 65,000 spectators. Four stages served as unique performance venues, forming a colorful visual show at the foot of the obelisk. From the French singer Lucky Love to the South African dancer Musa Motha and the artist Christine and the Queens, all gathered in honour of Paralympism.
