EQUAL IN SPORTS EQUAL IN LIFE
The Paralympics are international sports competition like Olympic-style games, for athletes with disabilities, who are also called Paralympians. ‘Para’ stands for ‘parallel’ which means ‘equal to’, not ‘paraplegic’ as thought by many people. However, unlike the Olympics, they are held in winter and summer. Since 1988, they have taken place during the same year and in the same venue as the Olympics. The Paralympics developed after Sir Ludwig Guttmann, a neurologist, organised a sports competition for the veterans with spinal cord injuries of British World War II in 1948. At first, he planned it as a rehabilitation activity. Then, in 1952, athletes from the Netherlands joined the British competitors. In 1960, the first Olympic-style games for disabled athletes were held in Rome; the Winter Games were added in 1976, held in Sweden. Since 1988, the Paralympics have been held at the Olympic venues and have used the same facilities. Since 2001, with the agreement of the international Olympic and Paralympic Committees, they have been practised at the same city that bids to host the Olympics. Many of the Olympic sports are included in the Paralympics, too; such as Alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, and biathlon for winter sports; cycling, archery and swimming for summer sports. Football, boccia, power lifting and wheelchair sports are also included. However, sports equipments for the Paralympics are generally modified for specific disabilities.
