Six events are contested at each Paralympic. Only men's and women's singles were held at the 1988 Paralympics, when it was a demonstration sport. These were joined by men's and women's doubles events four years later when the sport turned an official event. In 2004, two new events were added withquadriplegia (as such they are also known as "quad" events) and unlike the other events they are open. Until the 2024 Games, only two women competed in the event, the Dutch Monique de Beer and the CanadianSarah Hunter, both competed in 2004 and 2008, but the Dutch is still the only woman to win a medal at the Paralympics, a bronze in the doubles event in 2004.
