Now that the Tokyo Olympic Games are out of the way, attention turns to the Tokyo Paralympic Games.
Australia had an incredibly successful Olympics with 17 gold medals and if our talented Paralympians are anything to go by, we could be seeing even more medals coming home from Japan.
With two weeks in between the Olympics and Paralympics, Tokyo will begin to prepare for thousands of new athletes to head to Japan to compete in 539 events across 22 sports.
It's set to be another fantastic fortnight of inspiring stories and remarkable achievements.
Here's everything you need to know about the Tokyo Paralympic Games.
