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

Olympians. In ancient times, as today, to be an Olympic athlete was a supreme honour. Ancient Olympic champions were looked after by their fellow townsfolk for the rest of their lives, although they also enjoyed the redoubtable honour of fighting in the front line. Today, nearly 100,000 athletes who have competed in the Olympic Games, better known as Olympians, spread the values of Olympism around the world. 1, record 2, English, - Olympic%20athlete

Olympiens. Dans l’Antiquité, comme de nos jours, devenir un athlète olympique est un honneur suprême. Le champion olympique de l’Antiquité était entretenu par sa cité jusqu’à la fin de ses jours, mais il avait aussi le redoutable honneur de partir pour la guerre en première ligne.
