Winning a medal at the Paralympic or Olympic Games is life-changing; however, the disparity in prize money between the Olympics and Paralympics remains a pressing issue.
For instance, Hong Kong's gold medalists earn HK$6 million in the Olympics but only HK$1.5 million in the Paralympics, showcasing significant disparities.
Nations like Canada have created programs to bridge the gap, ensuring Paralympic athletes receive recognition and financial awards that are closer to those of Olympians.
The push for parity is gaining momentum, as seen in Singapore and Canada, where progressive policies are beginning to equalize monetary rewards for athletes.
