- Paralympics The Paralympic Games are the pinnacle *event of the International Paralympic Committee ( http://www.paralympic.org/ ) and the showcase of elite performance for athletes with disabilities. They are considered a ‘parallel’ movement to the *Olympics. The Paralympics are held every four years generally after the Olympic Games, and mostly, in the same host City as the Olympic Games. The Paralympics had their roots in the rehabilitation of injured war veterans in England. The first staging of an international event took place in England at Stoke Mandeville hospital in 1948. The main aims of the first events were rehabilitation and social *integration of people with disabilities. The first Paralympics was held in Rome in 1960 with 400 athletes from 23 countries. The Paralympics include the *disability categories of: Amputee; Cerebral palsy; Intellectual disability; Vision impaired; Wheelchair; and Les autres. At the Sydney 2000 Paralympic Games some 4000 athletes from 125 countries competed in 18 sports. Of these sports 14 are common to the Olympic Games with the sports of wheelchair rugby, boccia, goal ball and power lifting being specific to the Paralympics. The Paralympics have grown rapidly since their inception to become part of a global network of sports events. In doing so they have brought an increased visibility and status to people with disabilities by focusing on their abilities.
