Paralympics Paralympic Volleyball 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 Standing Volleyball Rules Standing Volleyball Classification Sitting Volleyball Rules ...

You are: Home Our country The Paralympics News ... The birth of the Paralympics The UK is to the Paralympic Movement what Greece is to the Olympics. It is the country where the Games were born. In Sydney in 2000, 132 countries took part in the Paralympics and a record 1.2 million people watched. 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.

The Ludwig Guttmann Stadium, named after the so-called Father of Disabled Sport, could be used as a training facility before the main action of the Games proper. In its 12 days of action, the Paralympics would represent the values and vision of Sir Ludwig: overcoming adversity against the odds and demonstrating more than ever the benefits of sport for everyone. At the 2000 Games in Sydney, 132 countries took part in the Paralympics and a record 1.2 million people watched. The British team, led by quadruple Sydney gold medallist Tanni Grey-Thompson, returned home with a record haul of 131 medals. In 2012, the Paralympic athletes would compete in the same venues as the Olympians in the Olympic Park . Its compact, self-contained and well-connected nature would be a massive plus for both competitors and the fans expected to flock to the events.

"I think people sometimes think that the Paralympics are more what the Olympics used to be pure sport," said wheelchair racer and cross-country skier Candace Cable, who has competed in Paralympics since 1984. Juneau's Joe Tompkins will become the first Alaskan to compete in the Paralympics, racing as an alpine skier in his monoski. Tompkins, who was paralyzed from the waist down in an auto accident involving alcohol, will compete in the downhill event on March 9 and in the Super G on March 10, both at Snowbasin Ski Area. Rather than compare the two games, director Xavier Gonzalez wants the Paralympics to extend the excitement of the Olympics through March 16, when they end.
