O conceito de legado de mega-eventos esportivos tem sido altamente debatido, com promessa de trazer benefÃcios tangÃveis e mensuráveis. Porém, no contexto dos Jogos ParalÃmpicos, o conceito de legado apresentou um desafio, devido à falta da compreensão universalmente aceita tanto dos legados em si como dos objetivos dos próprios Jogos paraolÃmpicos. Embora muitos autores e militantes dos direitos das pessoas com deficiência esperem que os Jogos ParalÃmpicos agilizem a agenda de inclusão de pessoas com deficiência, um número crescente de estudos mostrou que a ParalimpÃada distorce a natureza de deficiência e a realidade das pessoas com deficiência e, consequentemente, reforça os estereótipos negativos. O presente artigo se baseia em estudos crÃticos sobre deficiência, visando examinar os legados sociais dos Jogos ParalÃmpicos de 2012 e 2016 para as pessoas com deficiência, identificados na cobertura de três periódicos selecionados, The Guardian, Estadão e O Globo. O artigo apresenta um resumo da análise qualitativa da cobertura de mÃdia relacionada ao tema do legado paralÃmpico e dos direitos das pessoas com deficiência, destaca os temas centrais e oferece uma discussão dos resultados sob lentes de estudos crÃticos de deficiência.Referências
