Over the past four years, Tom Brown has led a three-person team in the 27' Soling class sailboat in preparation for the 2002 Olympics. Simultaneously, he began a 2.4mR class campaign to compete in the Paralympics. In the Soling campaign, up against America's Cup skipper Ed Baird and other sailing elite, Brown's crew finished among the top six boats at the Olympic Trials, and conceded the Olympic berth to Soling World Champion Jeff Madrigali. In the 2.4mR Trials, competition was just as furious between many long-time sailors. After a seven race series, Tom Brown won the regatta by a record nine points and headed for the 2000 Paralympics in Sydney, Australia where he took home the Bronze medal. Since 1952, the Paralympics have followed two weeks after the Olympics, and have included identical sports in identical venues. The difference; all of the atheletes have some sort of physical disability ranging from blindness to quadriplegia. The 2000 Paralympics involved over 4,000 athletes from 125 countries competing in 41 sports for Gold, Silver and Bronze medals. Tom Brown proudly represented the United States, returning with a Bronze medal inthe 2.4mR event. Having lost his left leg when he was 10 years old, Tom has been forced to make many adaptions and concessions during both sailing campaigns, but has never changed his goal of proving that he ranks among the best sailors in the world.

TeamStore Paralympics history Click here for more on this story Posted: Wednesday October 18, 2000 11:42 AM Courtesy of WeMedia.com, Official Webcaster of the 2000 Paralympic Games By David Rosner The Paralympic Games parallel the story of disability sports not just in terms of evolution (from rehabilitation to competition), but of revolution (to high-performance sport). It's the story of a movement that knows no limits, no confines, no boundaries, only ever-expanding possibilities. Of course, the Paralympic Games weren't always the peak of elite competition, weren't always the world's largest sports event after the Olympics, weren't always the fastest-growing movement in international sports. But they were always, even before the first Olympic-style competition for athletes with disabilities debuted in 1960, infused with the Paralympic spirit. That Paralympic spirit can be traced to 1948 when Sir Ludwig Guttmann, a German-born neurosurgeon who emigrated to England in 1939 as a refugee from Nazi occupation, organized an athletic competition in Stoke Mandeville for World War II veterans with spinal cord injuries. Four years earlier, at the British government's request to open Stoke Mandeville Hospital's National Spinal Injury Centre, mainly to treat wounded servicemen, Dr. Guttmann had introduced a new medical approach embracing sport as a paramount therapy in the total rehabilitation of paralyzed patients. What began as rehabilitative recreation evolved into athletic competition-with Guttmann emerging as "The Father of Disabled Sport."

The Paralympic History Overview The Paralympics are a multi-sport, multi-disability competition of elite, world-class, disabled athletes. Although similar in scope to the Olympic Games, the Paralympic Games provide an elite competition opportunity to athletes with a functional disability, which precludes their involvement in open competition of the Olympic Games. Paralympic athletes go through rigorous training year-round to prepare for their respective events. They are the best of the best, who through determination and hard work, earn the honor of representing the United States on the competitive playing field at the Paralympic Games. The Paralympic Games are held approximately two weeks after the Olympic Games in the same host city/country. The Paralympic Games are distinctly different than the Special Olympic World Games. The two, which are often confused as one in the same, are totally separate competitions. Each Games are developed by entirely different organizations which have different objectives. The Paralympic Games provide world-class competition for elite disabled athletes at the highest level. Much like Olympians, Paralympians compete for gold, silver and bronze medals against the best-disabled athletes in the world. Special Olympics International focuses on participation of everyone and involves athletes from ages 8 to 80 with mental retardation. All participants are considered winners and receive medals. The first Paralympic Games was held in Rome, Italy in 1960. Four hundred athletes from 23 countries participated. Since its humble beginnings, the Paralympics has blossomed and grown in size and complexity. The Paralympic Games is part and parcel of the Olympic Games. The Seoul Olympic Organizing Committee organized the 1988 Paralympics to be held in the Olympic venues two weeks after the Olympic Games. Barcelona and Lillehammer followed suit hosting the summer and winter Paralympic Games respectively, utilizing a similar time frame.

This history courtesy of the Sydney Paralympic Organizing Committee History of the Paralympic Games The forerunner to the modern Paralympic Games was a sports competition held at Stoke Mandeville in England more than 50 years ago - July 1948 - for mainly ex-Servicemen in wheelchairs. It was organized by a neurosurgeon at the Stoke Mandeville hospital, Dr Ludwig Guttmann, to coincide with the 1948 London Olympic Games. Dr Guttmann is often labeled the 'Father of Disabled Sport' or the Paralympic version of the Olympic movement's Pierre de Coubertin, who founded the modern Olympic Games in 1896. From the 1948 Stoke Mandeville competition grew the need to organize proper sporting events for athletes with a disability. The first Paralympic Games was held in Rome in 1960 - the Games of the I (first) Paralympiad. The Sydney 2000 Paralympic Games will be the Games of the XI Paralympiad - celebrating its 40th anniversary while the Olympic Games celebrates its 104th year. Although the Paralympic Games is a much younger movement than the Olympic Games, it is growing dramatically. The word 'Paralympic' comes from the word 'parallel' and not 'paraplegic'. It means the Games 'parallel' to the Olympic Games in terms of being the key international competition for athletes with a disability - as the Olympics is for able-bodied athletes. The 1960 Rome Paralympic Games had 400 athletes from 23 countries but only one disability category - wheelchair - was represented. Six sports were played.
