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."

Events schedule Format story for printing E-mail a copy of this story Paralympic history gets study By Brady Snyder Deseret News staff writer University of Utah Professor Larry Gerlach freely admits he knows less about the Paralympic movement than he should as organizer of a lecture series on the topic. Lucky for Gerlach he found Gundrun Doll-Tepper, a Berlin-educated doctor who has dedicated most of her life to the furthering of disabled athletic competition. In fact, U. health professor John M. Dunn credits Doll-Tepper for spearheading the effort to hold the Paralympics in the same city as the Olympics, which has happened regularly since the 1988 Summer Games in Seoul and continues for Salt Lake's Winter Games. It was Doll-Tepper, then, whose Tuesday lecture traced the Paralympic movement's struggle to gain legitimacy from its infancy at the end of World War II. At the first disabled games, in 1948, at Stoke Mandeville, England, winter sports officials in Switzerland and Austria refused to condone the competition. It wasn't until 1960 in Rome that the first "Olympic style" disabled summer games were held and even then the word "Paralympics" hadn't been invented. The first winter version of these Games in1976 was dubbed The Winter Olympic Games for the Disabled, then The World Winter Games for Physically Disabled Persons and finally the Paralympics.

After World War II, a giant stride was made in the development of Paralympics when the Stoke Mandeville Hospital in UK introduced sports as a significant part of the total rehabilitation of persons with a disability. Dr. Ludwig Guttmann of the Stoke Mandeville Hospital founded the Stoke Mandeville Games for people with spinal disability in 1948, which was held every year in the UK. In 1952, the games expanded into Germany, Sweden and Norway, which ultimately led to the establishment of the International Stoke Mandeville Games Committee (ISMGF). S

Contact the editors: History of the Paralympics The Paralympic Games is the premier international event for elite athletes with disabilities and one of the largest sporting events in the world - bigger competitions than the Commonwealth Games and the Winter Olympics. They focus on the athletic achievements of participants, rather than their disabilities and the title 'Paralympic' is derived from the word 'parallel', as the games are conducted parallel to the Olympic Games. Athletes include those blind and partially sighted, amputees, with cerebral palsy, paraplegics, tetraplegics, wheelchair athletes and those with an intellectual disability. The Paralympic Games grew from the work of Dr Ludwig Guttman, a German-born neurosurgeon who established the National Spine Injury Centre at Stoke Mandeville Hospital in England in 1944. He first introduced competitive sport to rehabilitate soldiers with spinal cord injuries sustained in World War II.

The Games eventually evolved into a group of sporting events that take place every fourth summer and winter seasons and involve athletes from most countries throughout the world. Although the games were eliminated during the early Christian era, they were resurrected in 1896 and have been staged for 2 weeks every fourth year since then. The modern Olympic Games have adhered to this agenda, except during times of such international conflicts as World War I and II.

Back in 1948, Sir Ludwig Guttman, a neurologist who was working with World War II veterans with spinal injuries at Stoke Mandeville Hospital in Aylesbury, began using sport as part of the rehabilitation programmes of his patients. He set up a competition with other hospitals to coincide with the London Olympics in that year. Over the next decade Guttman's care plan was adopted by other spinal injury units in Britain and competition grew. In 1960, the Olympics were held in Rome, and Guttmann brought 400 wheelchair athletes to the Olympic city to compete. The modern Parallel Olympics (or "Paralympics") were born First gold Britain's first ever gold medal was won by Margaret Maughan that year in archery - the first sport to be included in Guttman's treatment plans.
