4 Did you know ...

... who founded the Paralympics?

The idea of the Paralympics belongs to Professor Sir Ludwig Guttmann. He was born in Germany in 1899. He was always interested in medicine and became a doctor when he was 25 years old. In 1938 he moved from Fascist Germany to Great Britain, and in 1943 he became the director of Stoke Mandeville Hospital. He didn’t simply treat paralysed patients, he wanted to rehabilitate them — to help them have a normal, useful life again. He felt it was very important to inspire hope and self-belief in his patients.

Guttmann introduced new methods in treating patients in wheelchairs. He understood that sport helps a person’s body as well as their mind. He encouraged his patients to take part in sports. He said, “The aims of sport for the disabled, as well as the non-disabled, are to develop mental activity, self-confidence, self-discipline, competitive spirit and comradeship.”

In 1948 the hospital held a sporting event called “The Stoke Mandeville Games” — a competition in archery in which disabled war veterans took part. By 1952 the event began to get bigger, Dutch war veterans joined the competition. In 1960 the Olympics were held in Rome, and Guttmann arranged for wheelchair athletes to compete in a “parallel” Olympics held in Rome alongside the official Summer Olympics. The name was shortened to the Paralympics.

Ludwig Guttmann, the founder and father of the Paralympic Games, died in 1980. The Paralympics grow and develop.

4 Знаете ли вы... кто основал Паралимпийские игры?

Ответ:

The Paralympics were founded by Professor Sir Ludwig Guttmann. He was a doctor who used sport to rehabilitate paralysed patients because he believed it helped both their body and mind. In 1948, he organized "The Stoke Mandeville Games" for disabled veterans, which later grew into the Paralympic Games.

Паралимпийские игры были основаны профессором сэром Людвигом Гуттманом. Он был врачом, который использовал спорт для реабилитации парализованных пациентов, потому что верил, что это помогает как их телу, так и разуму. В 1948 году он организовал «Сток-Мандевильские игры» для ветеранов-инвалидов, которые позже переросли в Паралимпийские игры.
