Welcome! Learn about where it all originated! Paralympic History Have you ever wondered if disabled people have any world-wide sporting events in which to compete? The Paralympics are Olympic Games specifically for people with disabilities. The International Paralympic Games are the Olympics for elite athletes with physical disabilities that do not enable them to compete in the regular International Olympic Games. The Paralympic Games are held every four years just like the Olympic Games. They are usually held in the same city and country as the Olympics. Athletes that compete in the Paralympic Games are divided into categories according to their disabilities. The word "paralympic" comes from the Latin word "para" which means "with" and "lympic" refers to the Olympic Games. Sir Ludwig Guttmann's idea to hold these Games did not start out as the International Paralympic Games. Guttmann was an English neurosurgeon. He worked at the Stoke Mandeville Hospital in Ayslebury, England. He first organized the International Wheelchair Games to occur at the same time as the 1948 London Olympics. Soon after, Guttmann attempted to connect the wheelchair competition with the International Olympic Games. He finally succeeded in making the first official Paralympics in 1960. However, there were previous Games in 1952 that were not official and held along side the Olympic Games. Twenty-three nations participated along with four-hundred athletes. For the first few Paralympic Games, mostly wheelchair athletes participated. As time went on, athletes with different disabilities started competing. The Paralympic Games are held every four years just like the Olympic Games. They are usually held in the same city or country as the Olympics.

Paralympic History Road to Athens Our Athletes Events ... Our Sponsors PARALYMPIC GAMES HISTORY The first Games for athletes with a disability were held in 1948 in Stoke Mandeville, England. On the day of the Opening Ceremony of the 1948Olympic Games in London, the Stoke Mandeville Games were launched and the first competition for wheelchair athletes was organized. Four years later, athletes from the Netherlands joined the Games; thus the international movement, now known as the Paralympic movement, was born. Olympic style Games for athletes with a disability were organized for the first time in Rome in 1960, immediately after the Olympic Games. They are considered the first Paralympic Games. About 400 athletes from 23 countries competed in 8 sports. Since then, Paralympic Games have been organized every 4 years. The Paralympic Games have always been held in the same year as the Olympic Games. Other disability groups were added in Toronto in 1976 and the idea was conceived of merging together different disability groups for international sport competitions. In the same year, the first Paralympic Winter Games took place in Sweden.

    The birthplace of the Paralympics
    An Olympic-style belief in the power of sport for good led to the birth of what is now known as the Paralympics. Neurologist Sir Ludwig Guttmann was working with war veterans suffering spinal injuries when he hit upon the idea of using sport to help. Treating war veterans with spinal cord injuries, he was convinced making them more active and increasing their mobility was the key to more successful treatment. Sir Ludwig observed that 85 per cent of patients with spinal injuries died as a result of their injuries. And the best way to reduce the terrible figure was to rekindle the inner fire and human spirit through sport. So, to coincide with the 1948 London Olympics , he organised the first wheelchair games at Stoke Mandeville Hospital, north of London. Four years later it welcomed international competitors to the event as interest grew. And by the time the hospital once again enjoyed the honour of acting as host, in 1984, more than 1,000 athletes from 41 countries took part in 14 different events.

    UPDATE: Paralympic athletes sue U.S. Olympic Committee for disability discrimination . July 28, 2003 Paralympians Scot Hollonbeck, of Atlanta, Georgia, Tony Iniguez, of Aurora, Illinois, and Jacob Heilveil of Bothell, Washington, said in the lawsuit that the USOC violates federal law by providing benefits - such as elite training, coaching, performance incentives and health insurance - to Olympic athletes but denies those benefits to Paralympic athletes.

    Bad Sports:
    U.S. Olympic Committee thumbs nose at Paralympics By Josie Byzek. Sidebar: Vertical Integration Josie Byzek writes frequently about disability rights. Not a single Olympic dollar will go to Paralympic athletes for the upcoming games in 2000. That was the word from U.S. Olympic Committee Executive Director Dick Schultz at a mid-April Colorado Springs meeting of the organization's Committee on Sports for the Disabled. No sponsorships would be pursued by the USOC for the Paralympics either, said Schultz. This will leave Paralympians effectively without funding for their events. For amateur sports in America, all roads lead to the U. S. Olympic Committee. The 1978 Amateur Sports Act required the USOC to involve disabled athletes, but "it was so gray the Committee could always wiggle out of having to do anything," says five-time Paralympic medalist Scot Hollonbeck. A 1998 amendment now makes the requirement clear. Yet USOC support is "just not there for Paralympians," says the U.S. Disabled Athletes' Fund's Andy Fleming.

    Click here for more on this story Posted: Wednesday October 18, 2000 11:42 AM Courtesy of WeMedia.com, Official Webcaster of the 2000 Paralympic Games By David Rosner The Paralympic Games parallel the story of disability sports not just in terms of evolution (from rehabilitation to competition), but of revolution (to high-performance sport). It's the story of a movement that knows no limits, no confines, no boundaries, only ever-expanding possibilities. Of course, the Paralympic Games weren't always the peak of elite competition, weren't always the world's largest sports event after the Olympics, weren't always the fastest-growing movement in international sports. But they were always, even before the first Olympic-style competition for athletes with disabilities debuted in 1960, infused with the Paralympic spirit. That Paralympic spirit can be traced to 1948 when Sir Ludwig Guttmann, a German-born neurosurgeon who emigrated to England in 1939 as a refugee from Nazi occupation, organized an athletic competition in Stoke Mandeville for World War II veterans with spinal cord injuries. Four years earlier, at the British government's request to open Stoke Mandeville Hospital's National Spinal Injury Centre, mainly to treat wounded servicemen, Dr. Guttmann had introduced a new medical approach embracing sport as a paramount therapy in the total rehabilitation of paralyzed patients. What began as rehabilitative recreation evolved into athletic competition-with Guttmann emerging as "The Father of Disabled Sport."

    The Salt Lake Organizing Committee for the Olympic Winter Games of 2002 (SLOC) was the first Organizing Committee to completely integrate the organization of both the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. SLOC staged the VIII Paralympic Games March 7 - 16, 2002, in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Paralympic Games are the world's premier gathering of disabled athletes. In 2002, the Paralympics involved more than 1,100 athletes and officials. The competitions were held at venues throughout the Wasatch Front. History

    Venues
    Venues used for competition included Soldier Hollow the 'E' Center , and and Snowbasin Ski Area . Two non-competition venues were located in Salt Lake on the University of Utah campus: Rice-Eccles Olympic Stadium for the Opening and Closing Ceremonies, and the Paralympic Winter Village for athlete and official housing. The Main Media Center was located at the 'E' Center. Participants
    Close to 40 National Paralympic Committees participated in the Salt Lake Paralympic Winter Games, with up 48,220 people participating in the Salt Lake Paralympics each day.

    The Olympics Games
    Citius - Altius - Fortius
    Founder of the Olympics
    The Baron founded the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in 1984 and began organising the first Games in Athens. He was in the business of "making men"; to "adhere to an ideal of a higher life, to strive for perfection"; to create "a four-yearly festival of the springtime of mankind". Sadly, this vision did not extend to the fairer sex. Female athletes first participated in the Olympic games in 1900 in Paris when Charlotte Cooper (Britain) was the first female gold medalist in the tennis singles. Medals were not awarded to winners until the 1908 games in London. After the first successful Olympics in 1896, de Coubertin became president of the IOC, a post he held until 1925. He died of a stroke in 1937 and in accordance with his last wishes, the Baron was buried in Lausanne but his heart was interred in a monument at the ruins of Olympia.
    Olympic Motto
    The Olympic motto is:

    The Olympic Oath, instituted in 1920 and updated in 2000, is taken on behalf of all athletes by a member of the host team. While holding a corner of his national flag, the athlete proclaims from the rostrum, the following:

    Deseret News staff writer University of Utah Professor Larry Gerlach freely admits he knows less about the Paralympic movement than he should as organizer of a lecture series on the topic.
    Lucky for Gerlach he found Gundrun Doll-Tepper, a Berlin-educated doctor who has dedicated most of her life to the furthering of disabled athletic competition.
    In fact, U. health professor John M. Dunn credits Doll-Tepper for spearheading the effort to hold the Paralympics in the same city as the Olympics, which has happened regularly since the 1988 Summer Games in Seoul and continues for Salt Lake's Winter Games.
    It was Doll-Tepper, then, whose Tuesday lecture traced the Paralympic movement's struggle to gain legitimacy from its infancy at the end of World War II.
    At the first disabled games, in 1948, at Stoke Mandeville, England, winter sports officials in Switzerland and Austria refused to condone the competition. It wasn't until 1960 in Rome that the first "Olympic style" disabled summer games were held and even then the word "Paralympics" hadn't been invented.
    The first winter version of these Games in1976 was dubbed The Winter Olympic Games for the Disabled, then The World Winter Games for Physically Disabled Persons and finally the Paralympics.

    Archaeologists believe the ancient Olympic Games began more than 4,000 years ago in Olympia, a valley in Greece. Recorded history of the Games dates back to 776 B.C., when the five days of sporting events were primarily religious ceremonies. For the first known 13 Games, the competition consisted of single foot race of 200 yards, which was the approximate length of the Olympic stadium. The Games expanded to include additional contests and reached their height by fifth century BC. Men competed, in the nude, in running, wrestling, pentathlon, horse riding and chariot races. Why in the nude … well, to keep the ladies out of the action. Women were barred from watching or competing, and were even put to death if they were caught at the early Games. Today, not only are women allowed to watch and compete, they are encouraged to do so. Check out a few of our historical Olympic pages here at usolympicteam.com.
