Jurgen Klopp, former Liverpool manager, attended the 2024 Paris Paralympics to support his long-time friend Wojtek Czyz, who competed in the SL3 para-badminton event. Czyz, a former professional footballer whose career ended after a severe injury led to the amputation of his left leg, has been friends with Klopp for over 20 years since they met at a charity match. Despite Czyz's defeat to British player Daniel Bethell, Klopp emphasized the inspiring nature of Czyz's journey and the broader significance of parasports. Klopp's presence highlighted the deep friendship and mutual admiration between him and Czyz, who has previously won four Paralympic gold medals in para athletics and now represents New Zealand. Klopp is using his career break to promote the values and stories within parasports, which he finds profoundly moving and inspirational.
