New Delhi: Google Doodle on most days of the year celebrates special events and occasions with special illustrations and artwork to pay homage and respect to a particular event that is currently taking place or has a history to learn. On September 7, 2024, the special doodle is celebrating the para-athletes at Paris Olympics 2024 who are taking part in the Equestrian event at the Paralympics. The doodle featuring a tiny bird with a helmet, riding a horse is an example of strength and resilience. The animated doodle bird is acting as a referee for the game.
Google enthusiastically proclaimed, “Galloping for gold! It’s time to saddle up for the Para-Equestrian events set against the majestic backdrop of the Château de Versailles.”
Unlike the Olympics, where athletes compete in three equestrian disciplines—dressage, show jumping, and eventing—the Paralympic Games feature only one discipline: dressage. This specialised event assesses both the rider and the horse, focusing on their performance and synchronisation as they execute precise movements. This unique competition highlights the extraordinary skill and partnership between rider and horse, celebrated amidst the grandeur of Paris’s historic venues.
As per the Olympics website, the accuracy of riding, artistic finesses and horse’s gait and halts are some of the aspects based on which Equestrian events will be judged. Para-dressage began as a leisure activity but was the first competition in the 1970s. Google Doodle celebrates each event with full enthusiasm and zeal to mark the special occasion with beautiful artwork depicting various deeper meanings.
Today’s Google Doodle celebrates the spirit and skill of Equestrian events at the Paris Paralympics 2024! Dive into the world of para-dressage and show jumping, and learn how these athletes are breaking barriers with courage and grace.
