Oct 21, 2000 Paralympic Games As you may have heard, the Paralympics are in town - just a mere two weeks after the Olympics. This weekend is the first full fledge weekend that the games are underway. Myself, a co-worker and two of his friends decided to meet at 8:30am at a train station. From there, we would take the train to the Olympic Park, and attend the games. The ticketing is different than the Olympics. The Paralympics sell "Day Passes" for $15 each. They allow you to enter the park for one day, and attend all events on a first come first seat available basis. Promo Material The Games will be held from 18 - 29 October, 17 days after the Closing Ceremony of the Olympic Games. There will be 4000 athletes from 125 countries competing at the event in the 18 sports on the competition program, 14 of which are also on the Olympic sports program. Unique to the Paralympic Games are boccia, goalball, powerlifting and wheelchair rugby. A Paralympic sports festival atmosphere will be created at Sydney Olympic Park, Homebush Bay, which is home to 14 of the 18 sports. Cycling, equestrian, sailing and shooting will be held at satellite venues within 30 minutes drive of Sydney Olympic Park. What is the background to the Paralympic Games?

Over the past four years, Tom Brown has led a three-person team in the 27' Soling class sailboat in preparation for the 2002 Olympics. Simultaneously, he began a 2.4mR class campaign to compete in the Paralympics. In the Soling campaign, up against America's Cup skipper Ed Baird and other sailing elite, Brown's crew finished among the top six boats at the Olympic Trials, and conceded the Olympic berth to Soling World Champion Jeff Madrigali. In the 2.4mR Trials, competition was just as furious between many long-time sailors. After a seven race series, Tom Brown won the regatta by a record nine points and headed for the 2000 Paralympics in Sydney, Australia where he took home the Bronze medal. Since 1952, the Paralympics have followed two weeks after the Olympics, and have included identical sports in identical venues. The difference; all of the atheletes have some sort of physical disability ranging from blindness to quadriplegia. The 2000 Paralympics involved over 4,000 athletes from 125 countries competing in 41 sports for Gold, Silver and Bronze medals. Tom Brown proudly represented the United States, returning with a Bronze medal inthe 2.4mR event. Having lost his left leg when he was 10 years old, Tom has been forced to make many adaptions and concessions during both sailing campaigns, but has never changed his goal of proving that he ranks among the best sailors in the world.

USA Standing USA Sitting USA Deaf Paralympics ... USAV Leadership UNITED STATES PARALYMPIC COMMITTEE (USOC/USPC) In October of 1995, the USOC took on the role and responsibilities as the United States Paralympic Committee. As such, the USOC is committed to a long-term investment in elite disabled athletics. With minor exceptions, services provided disabled athletes are comparable to that which are provided able-bodied Olympic athletes. The USOC is dedicated to the integration and advancement of elite disabled athletes into open competition whenever possible. The USOC/USPC is committed to working with both the NGB's and the DSOs to provide top-level support services to elite disabled athletes in training and competing in the Paralympics and other quadrennial disabled games. The USOC Disabled Sports Services Department manages the internal activities necessary to facilitate this progress. Disabled Sports Services also serves as the contact representative for all issues relative to National Paralympic Committee concerns. The Paralympic Games are open only to those elite athletes who meet the rigid qualifying standards of their sport. The term "Paralympic" actually means "next to" or "parallel" to the regular Olympics, as the Paralympics provide elite competition opportunity to athletes with a functional physical disability that precludes their involvement in open competition at the regular Olympics.

Grant Warkentin Parklander Reporter The excitement is building for Hinton athlete Shauna Whyte, and it's hard not to share her enthusiasm as she gets set for the 2002 Paralympic Games. This coming weekend will begin the Paralympics in Salt Lake City, Utah, and will see nearly a thousand elite athletes from 35 different countries hit the hills and ice rinks recently vacated by their Olympic cousins. Shauna will be among them, competing this coming weekend in the cross-country sit-skiing and biathlon events. And this year, she's a strong contender to bring home a medal for Canada. "We're very, very proud of her," said her mother. Shauna's parents, Ron and Muriel Whyte, live here in Hinton, and are excited to see their daughter competing at the ultimate athletic level for any athlete. They will be down in Salt Lake this weekend to watch her compete, and wouldn't miss it for anything. Shauna's parents encouraged her snow dreams from early on. Her dad bought her first pair of cross-country skis when she was seven, and by age eight, Shauna was competing in her first race, on Pyramid Lake in Jasper National Park.

In 1997, he was elected to the International Paralympic Committee as vice president for marketing and communications.

The Games brought together more than 4,000 athletes from 125 countries competing in 18 sports. Being chosen to represent your country is supposedly a great distinction, a huge accomplishment, but I didn't feel honored by what I had achieved until I saw how highly Australians esteemed the Paralympics. I live in the most powerful nation in the world, I'm proud to call myself an American, but sadly, I had to travel halfway around the world to feel like an elite athlete. Over the next ten days, this amazing response from the Australian public never waned. The streets were constantly filled with spectators. People waited in lines for two to three hours hoping to get in to see their favorite Australian athletes. The front page of the newspaper was filled with stories about the Paralympics. The television station broadcasting the games increased their nightly coverage by 30 minutes because the public was demanding more. In the last minute of our game against Australia, the sold out crowd started singing Waltzing Matilda. They were so loud that I could barely hear my teammates on the court. I had to struggle not to smile. Sure, I was upset that we were losing, but I was thrilled that so many people actually cared about the outcome of the game.
