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-Elysées 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.
