18. About The Rainbow Olympic Games
    A twoday sporting event held annually in Richmond, Virginia for children and adolescents (ages 6-21) with medically diagnosed visual and/or physical disabilities.  
    http://www.rainbowolympicgames.com/about.html
    
    Extractions: The Rainbow Olympic Games, formerly known as The Rainbow Games, was first organized in 1981 in Richmond Virginia by a group of physical and recreational therapists. The idea was to give young people with disabilities the challenge of athletic competition similar to their non-disabled peers. The Games were an immediate hit and have been a success each year since. In 1992, The Rainbow Games (as it was called then) became a non-profit organization, relying on contributions from businesses, organizations, and individuals to fund the Games and continue the tradition of offering eligible participants the opportunity to compete at no cost to them. The Rainbow Olympic Games is a two-day sporting event held annually in Richmond Virginia for children and adolescents (ages 6-21) with medically diagnosed visual and/or physical disabilities. These children are not eligible to participate in the Special Olympics because they do not have any mental deficiencies. In order to ensure fair competition, all competitors are classified based on their level of disability. The 24th annual Games will be held March 20th and 21st, 2004. The first day of competition is held at the Arthur Ashe Center and involves the following track and field events: club throw/softball throw, shotput, standing long jump, modified bowling, wheelchair slalom, 60M race, 200M race, and 800M race. Swimming events are held on the second day at a local YMCA and include: 13M swim, 25 yard back stroke, freestyle events (25 yards, 50 yards, 100 yards), and a raft relay. Awards are given out at the end of each day based on the participant's performance within their age group and classification.
