The needs and rights of landmine survivors will be amongst the issues highlighted at the Nairobi Summit for a Mine-Free World, 29 November - 3 December. There, State Parties to the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty will assess their progress in provision of assistance to survivors and devise ambitious plans for more comprehensive and sustained assistance for all, including access to emergency medical care, rehabilitation and income generation opportunities. Also to be discussed is the question of how to embed participation of landmine survivors in the work of the Treaty. Send good luck messages to these star athletes!

One of the great advantages of the Games being hosted by Vancouver is the close proximity to the world-renowned skiing resort of Whistler, which will provide the slopes for the alpine skiing events. There will be two Olympic Villages, built to house the competitors and officials during the games, one in Vancouver, the other in Whistler. Once the Games are over the villages will be converted to residential housing and healthcare facilities for the local population.

    Extractions: "Perverse" and "grotesque" are not adjectives I would readily use to describe the spirited efforts of athletes at the Paralympics in Sydney. But those are some of the choice words Mary Ellen Synon employed in yesterday's Sunday Independent. She added: "Surely physical competition is about finding the best - fastest, strongest, highest, all that. It is not about finding someone who can wobble his way around a track in a wheelchair, or who can swim from one end of a pool to the other by Braille." "One must question the propaganda that says one ought to applaud the physical performance of the lame as we applaud the physical performance of the fit," Synon continued. She is wrong: physical competition is just as much about courage as anatomical perfection. Psychological bravery is what divides the good athletes from the great. The ability to ignore the cries of pain from your twitching muscle fibres and your pleading brain is where the fundamental battle is fought. Standing alone questioning your own ability, your preparation and your opponent's strength is where your worth as an athlete is determined.

Patti Smith and 300 other performers were part of a show in Torino, Italy's Piazza Castello. The theme of the show was the transition between winter and spring. The Italians continued their eclectic selection of music at the Olympics with opera mixed in with songs from Mary Poppins. Athletes from 39 countries participated in the Torino 2006 Paralympic Games. Russian athletes turned in the most winning performances claiming a total of 33 medals followed by Ukraine with 25 medals and Germany with 19 medals. Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers presented the Canadian flag. The flag was raised as the national anthem was played and pictures of Canadian scenery were shown on a large screen. The next winter Paralympic Games will be held in Vancouver, Canada in 2010. Jim Byrnes, a Vancouver singer performed "Of Whom Will I be Afraid". Mr. Byrnes lost his legs in a car accident. As he did at the Torino 2006 Olympics closing ceremony, Vancouver mayor Sam Sullivan received the Paralympic flag in a holder on his wheelchair. Mayor Sullivan is a quadriplegic as the result of a ski accident.
