Les athlètes ayant participé aux Olympiques et aux Paralympiques méritent de porter le titre Olympien et Paralympien. [...] Il s'agit d'un titre qui ne peut être accordé qu'aux athlètes ayant participé aux Jeux. Il indique non seulement leur capacité à compétitionner aux échelons supérieurs, mais il exprime également les valeurs requises pour se rendre à ce niveau de compétition. 5, record 1, French, - athl%C3%A8te%20paralympique

atleta paralímpico; paralímpico: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que el término "paralímpico" [...] es la grafía recomendada por ser la más extendida y la más acorde con la etimología; para denominar a los juegos deportivos también es válida la forma "paralimpiada"(s). Además, se desaconsejan las variantes "paraolímpico" y "paraolimpiada" [...]. Por tanto, [...] lo aconsejable [es] escribir 'El equipo paralímpico viaja a Río' [y] 'El turno de lucirse es ahora de los "atletas paralímpicos"'. 1, record 1, Spanish, - atleta%20paral%C3%ADmpico
