Archers, swimmers and boccia players going for gold at the Paralympics Monday

Paralympics begin Monday in Tokyo with many athletes from around the world competing in multiple sports.

Many popular sports such as swimming and archery will be played, with some lesser known sports such as boccia also in the mix.

Archery at the Paralympics dates back to 1960 and is one of the original sports at the games.

There are many different classes of archery depending upon the level of an athlete's disability.

South Korea has been the powerhouse of archery at the Paralympics, winning over 90 medals since 1960.

Swimming is another popular sport at the Paralympics, and Great Britain is among the top countries.

Great Britain's Hannah Russell is one of the top swimmers to watch at the Paralympics.

She has won multiple gold medals in her career, including two at the 2016 Paralympics in Rio.

Boccia is a precision ball sport that is similar to bocce, and was invented in 1981.

Boccia is played by athletes with cerebral palsy or other severe physical disabilities.

Great Britain's David Smith is one of the top boccia players in the world.

The Paralympics will be held in Tokyo from August 24 to September 5, 2021.
