===Dwarf sports===
Dwarfs have support and compete in sport by a number of [[List of dwarfism organizations|organizations]] nationally and internationally. They are included in some events in the [[athletics at the Summer Paralympics]].

The [[Dwarf Athletic Association of America]] and the [[Dwarf Sports Association UK]] provide opportunities for dwarfs to compete nationally and internationally in the Americas and Europe, respectively. The [[World Dwarf Games]] (WDG) are a multi-sport event for athletes of short stature. The WDG have been held every four years since 1993 and are the world's largest sporting event exclusively for athletes with dwarfism. The Dwarf Sports Association UK organizes between 5 and 20 events per month for athletes with restricted growth conditions in the UK.<ref>{{cite web| url = https://www.dsauk.org/events/?daterange=2&region_ID=0| title = DSAuk Events| website =Dsauk.org| access-date = 2016-02-27}}</ref> For instance, swimming and bicycling are often recommended for people with skeletal dysplasias, since those activities put minimal pressure on the spine.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.chop.edu/conditions-diseases/skeletal-dysplasias|title=Skeletal Dysplasias|first=The Children's Hospital of|last=Philadelphia|date=25 March 2014|website=Chop.edu}}</ref>

Since its early days, [[professional wrestling]] has had the involvement of dwarf athletes. "[[Midget wrestling]]" had its heyday in the 1950s–'70s, when wrestlers such as [[Little Beaver (wrestler)|Little Beaver]], [[Lord Littlebrook]], and [[Fuzzy Cupid]] toured North America, and [[Sky Low Low]] was the first holder of the [[National Wrestling Alliance]]'s [[NWA World Midget's Championship|World Midget Championship]]. In the next couple of decades, more wrestlers became prominent in North America including foreign wrestlers like [[Japan]]'s [[Little Tokyo (wrestler)|Little Tokyo]]. Although the term is seen by some as pejorative, many past and current midget wrestlers including [[Hornswoggle]] said they take pride in the term due to its history in the industry and its marketability.{{citation needed|date=June 2020}}
