UPDATE: Paralympic athletes sue U.S. Olympic Committee for disability discrimination . July 28, 2003 Paralympians Scot Hollonbeck, of Atlanta, Georgia, Tony Iniguez, of Aurora, Illinois, and Jacob Heilveil of Bothell, Washington, said in the lawsuit that the USOC violates federal law by providing benefits - such as elite training, coaching, performance incentives and health insurance - to Olympic athletes but denies those benefits to Paralympic athletes.

Bad Sports:
U.S. Olympic Committee thumbs nose at Paralympics By Josie Byzek. Sidebar: Vertical Integration Josie Byzek writes frequently about disability rights. Not a single Olympic dollar will go to Paralympic athletes for the upcoming games in 2000. That was the word from U.S. Olympic Committee Executive Director Dick Schultz at a mid-April Colorado Springs meeting of the organization's Committee on Sports for the Disabled. No sponsorships would be pursued by the USOC for the Paralympics either, said Schultz. This will leave Paralympians effectively without funding for their events. For amateur sports in America, all roads lead to the U. S. Olympic Committee. The 1978 Amateur Sports Act required the USOC to involve disabled athletes, but "it was so gray the Committee could always wiggle out of having to do anything," says five-time Paralympic medalist Scot Hollonbeck. A 1998 amendment now makes the requirement clear. Yet USOC support is "just not there for Paralympians," says the U.S. Disabled Athletes' Fund's Andy Fleming.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Nike, one of the world’s most recognized sports and fitness companies, has signed as an official sponsor and licensee of the 2006 and 2008 U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Teams, as announced by the U.S. Olympic Committee today.

    The Underlying Principles The origin of the word "Paralympics" The History of the Paralympics
    The original Paralympics date back to Hippocrates (460-377BC), the famous ancient Greek doctor, who used sporting activities as a means of medical treatment. 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

    The various international sports federations choose the disciplines, events, and sports for each of the Olympic Games. To qualify as an Olympic sport, that sport must be widely practiced by men in at least 75 countries and on four continents, and by women in at least 40 countries and on three continents. Sports widely practiced in at least 25 countries and on three continents may be included in the Winter Games. In the past, the host country occasionally has been allowed to include one or two demonstration sports. If there is enough interest, they may be selected as medal sports in future Games. For example, tennis and baseball were demonstration sports before becoming medal sports in the 1988 and 1992 Games, respectively. Check out More Sports for all the action!
