I saw that a difficult topic was being discussed and decided to write my own vision of these competitions too.  Here, even more important than in the Olympic Games is primarily the qualifications and selection of athletes, since everyone has different disabilities.  This of course also complicates the work of the judges.  And actually, such competitions are almost never shown on TV, only episodes and victories in the news. 
As for the ethics of betting at these competitions, it seems to me that it is not entirely correct to place bets, more precisely, it is completely wrong, because every such athlete is a hero.  And his real reward is victory and a place on the podium.  And all those who profit from bets and bookmakers on this hero would go to hell.  I will never bet on the Paralympics. 
And I do not advise you!

I don't quite understand your point of view. Why are you so negative about this kind of betting? After all, the world of betting is very wide, from betting on sporting events and betting on winning the presidential race to betting on the weather. An athlete participates in the Paralympics on his own initiative. He may not even be aware that someone is betting on him. Besides, he has absolutely nothing to lose from it.

I agree, but only when a person has a mild degree of disability that does not cause him problems. Most people with disabilities have to spend far more on life than a normal person spends. In addition, not only is it more difficult for disabled people to find a job, but they also have to live in a world that cannot always provide for their most basic needs. To understand this, try to get in a wheelchair at least 20 km away from your place of residence without the help of others.
yeah, I get that and I am not trying to dismiss or diminish the hardships people with a far more severe disability face every single day in their life but at the end of the day, I am pretty sure a lot of disabled people just wanted to be seen as a person first and not as a special case because of their disability. it is great to be sympathetic, kind, and be helpful to disabled people but let's not make it to the point that we only see their disability and almost ignore their capability to be independent even if it is only for a short time.
