60 years ago the idea of disabled people doing sports was heard of. But when the annual games for
the disabled were started at Stoke Mandeville, England in 1948 by Sit Ludwid Guttmann, the situation
began to change.
Sir Ludwig Guttmann, who had been driven to England in 1939 from Nazi Germany, had been
asked by British Government to set up an, injury center at Stoke Mandeville near London. His ideas
about treating injuries included sport for the disabled.

.
 In the first games just two teams of injured soldiers took part. The next year, 1949, five teams took
part. From those beginnings, things have developed fast. Teams now come from abroad to Stoke
Mandeville every year. In 1960 the first Olympics for the disabled were held in Rome, in the same
place as the normal Olympic Games. Now every four I years the Olympic Games for the disabled are
held, if possible, in the same place as the normal Olympic Games, although they are organized
separately. In other years Games for the Disabled are still held at Stoke Mandeville. In 1984
wheelchair Olympic Games, 1064 wheelchair athletes from about 40 countries took part.
Unfortunately, they were held at Stoke Mandeville and not in Los Angeles, along with the other
Olympics.
The Games, have been a great success in promoting international friendship and understanding,
and proving that being disabled does not mean you can't enjoy sport. One small source of
disappointment for those who organize and take part in the games, however, has been the
unwillingness of the International Olympic Committee to include disabled events at the Olympic
Games for the able-bodied. Perhaps a few more years are still needed to convince those fortunate
enough not to be disabled that their disabled fellow athletes should not be excluded.
