Extractions: Paralympic Games are Olympic type games for disabled athletes, held in the Olympic years. Categories of disabilities are: Amputees, Blind, Cerebral Palsied, Deaf, Les Autres, Mentally Handicapped, Paralysed. In the sport of volleyball, there are two competitions, standing and seated volleyball. Standing volleyball is identical to the version played in the Olympic Games. Seated volleyball differs in the placing of the net (which is lowered appropriately for amputees who play seated on the ground), and the court size is smaller. This makes the game considerably faster-paced than the standing event. In the Barcelona 1992 Games, 12 teams took part in the sitting volleyball competitions with a total of 134 participants. Seven teams participated in the standing volleyball tournament. Volleyball General Classification

That first International Wheelchair Games involved 200 athletes, but quickly grew. In 1952, competitors from Holland also took part. And by 1960, in Rome, 400 athletes from 23 countries competed. Staged a few weeks after the Olympics Games of the XXVll Olympiad, Rome was the first official Parallel Olympics or Paralympics. Since then they have been staged in the same city as the Olympics five times: Tokyo (1964), Seoul (1988), Barcelona (1992), Atlanta (1996) and Sydney. Some of the sports played developed from existing disciplines such as archery, fencing or basketball. Others, such as goalball for visually impaired athletes, are entirely new. But perhaps the biggest change has been the increase in size. In 2000 26 countries which did not compete in Atlanta in 1996 sent athletes to Sydney. And the Australian team, comprising more than 400 athletes and officials, was the biggest ever. Search
