The Paralympic Games is a major international multi-sport event involving athletes with a range of disabilities, including impaired muscle power.

After a struggle to receive recognition as the true equal of the Olympics Games, the Paralympic Games now exists together side by side with the Olympics with neither Games considered more or less important than the other.

From its humble beginnings in Stoke Mandeville, the Paralympic Movement is now one of the largest sporting phenomenons on earth and the legacy created by Sir Ludwig Guttmann does not appear to be showing any signs of slowing down.

Those first Paralympics in Rome attracted 400 athletes from 23 countries and the host nation topped the medal table ahead of Great Britain.  The Games were not without their problems however.  The athletes' village was not completely wheelchair-accessible and military personnel stepped in to assist as athletes had to be carried up and down stairs.  Following the 1960 Games things began to improve for disability athletes as the movement continued to grow, modernise and include more and more disability groups.
