Huge fish float above the crowd during the opening ceremony of the Paralympic Games in Sydney Wednesday. The biggest Paralympics picked up where the Sydney Games, the biggest of the modern Olympic era, ended 17 days earlier in a vibrant spectacle of dance, music and Aussie icons. Thousands of glowing flashlights inside the stadium compensated for the starry cosmos that usually backlights the Southern Cross constellation that was hidden behind overcast skies. Gray clouds hung menacingly over the city all day and weather forecasters had predicted heavy rain and strong winds during the evening, but it never rained. Another full-scale party was already in full swing by the time governor general Sir William Deane declared the games open and swimmer Tracey Cross read the oath. In his opening address, International Paralympic Committee president Robert Steadward paid tribute to the unparalleled success of the Olympic Games, then promised more of the same.

Back in 1948, Sir Ludwig Guttman, a neurologist who was working with World War II veterans with spinal injuries at Stoke Mandeville Hospital in Aylesbury, began using sport as part of the rehabilitation programmes of his patients. He set up a competition with other hospitals to coincide with the London Olympics in that year. Over the next decade Guttman's care plan was adopted by other spinal injury units in Britain and competition grew. In 1960, the Olympics were held in Rome, and Guttmann brought 400 wheelchair athletes to the Olympic city to compete. The modern Parallel Olympics (or "Paralympics") were born First gold Britain's first ever gold medal was won by Margaret Maughan that year in archery - the first sport to be included in Guttman's treatment plans.

They include athletes with spinal cord injuries; amputated limbs; blindness or other visual impairments; cerebral palsy; mental handicaps; and various other disabilities, including multiple sclerosis and dwarfism. The Paralympics are coordinated by the International Paralympic Committee, founded in 1989 (succeeding several committees that had existed before then), which is the only international organization representing all sports and disabilities. Like the Olympics, the Paralympics are a competition of people with the highest athletic ability. They should not be confused with the Special Olympics, which are open to all children and adults with intellectual disabilities, no matter what their levels of athletic ability are.

Benoit, a veteran wheelchair basketball player who lives in Orleans, Ont., was named Canada's flag-bearer on Wednesday. "This is a delegation of 144 athletes it's just unfortunate that flag is not big enough to have the hands of those 144 persons," said Benoit. "I take it as a huge privilege to be part of a country like Canada." Benoit is among several experienced athletes on the 144-member Canadian team. More than two-thirds of the athletes competed in Sydney four years ago.
