殘奧會的起源地在哪？
[ 2007-09-29 10:28 ]
殘奧會的歷史可以追溯到1948年，當(dāng)時倫敦附近Stoke Mandeville醫(yī)院的神經(jīng)科大夫Ludwig Guttman爵士在醫(yī)院內(nèi)組織了第一次輪椅運動會，當(dāng)年正值奧運會在倫敦舉行，從此開創(chuàng)了殘疾人運動的先河。
The UK has a proud Paralympic heritage, and London 2012 will set new standards for inclusion and accessibility in every aspect of the Games.
The Paralympic Movement has its origins here when neurologist Sir Ludwig Guttman organised the first wheelchair Games at Stoke Mandeville Hospital to coincide with the 1948 London Olympics.
Last year saw Manchester hosted the second Paralympic World Cup, while every year the London Marathon attracts an elite field of wheelchair athletes to the capital.
The Olympic Village and all of the stadia will be fully accessible both during and after Games.
A creative approach to ticketing will learn from the successful promotion of Paralympic events at the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester.
Multi-venue day tickets and free transport between venues will ensure every athlete enjoys passionate and vocal support.
All of the public transport facilities serving the Olympic Park will be accessible to wheelchair users.
And the entire Docklands Light Railway network and all of London's 21,000 licensed black cabs are already accessible to wheelchair users, as will every London bus by 2008.
