Winter Paralympic Games

For details, see The Winter Paralympic Games Glossary
As of 2018, the Winter Paralympic Games have been held for the 12th time, World War II After that, winter sports for the disabled developed as many wounded soldiers and ordinary people tried to return to skiing. Among the early pioneers of winter sports for disabled people was Austrian Sepp Zwicknag, who lost his legs and skied on prosthetic limbs. Later, there were innovations in the design of ski sports equipment, such as the creation of three-track skiing with crutches 1.1 One-legged athletes wear one ski on one foot, and then use two crutches equipped with small skis, so that three tracks are left on the snow. The revolution of this equipment led to the first ski race in Austria in February 1948, in which 17 disabled people participated. The race was so popular with disabled skiers that it was held in Austria the following year Bad Garstein The first Austrian 3 Ski Championships were held in Badgastein. [1]

China's participation

broadcast
EDITOR

Basic situation

China first sent a team to participate in the 7th Paralympic Games held in New York in June 1984, and then participated in the 1988, 1992, 1996 and 2000 Paralympic Games. A total of 215 athletes were sent to the five Paralympic Games, winning a total of 80 gold MEDALS, 72 silver MEDALS, 52 bronze MEDALS, 59 people broke 75 world records, and 25 people broke Paralympic records. [1]
Compared with Western countries, China's disabled sports started late and the foundation is weak. In 1984, China's reform and opening up had just started, and like other undertakings, the sport industry was still in a lot of difficulties. In June of that year, The disabled Sports, like able-bodied sports, returned to the international arena and organized teams to participate in the Olympic and Paralympic Games that year. China sent only 24 para-athletes to participate in the United States Long Island, New York The 7th International Summer Paralympic Games, two blind girls Binh Ya Ri , Zhao Jihong In the face of strong players from all over the world, they bravely fought hard and won the women's long jump gold MEDALS of B2 and B3 respectively, which was better than the Chinese shooters Xu Haifeng One month earlier, China achieved the "zero breakthrough" of gold MEDALS in the Olympic Games. To this day, talking about the 1984 Paralympic Games, Ping Yali still has some regrets. When she stood on the podium after winning the gold medal and listened to the national anthem played, there were no photos or videos left behind. After returning to China, Ping Yali received a reward of 300 yuan and two salary increases, but the latter has not been implemented; After fighting, the Beijing municipal government also awarded her a house, but the follow-up trouble has not been solved. In the Paralympic Games, the Chinese delegation won 2 gold MEDALS, 13 silver MEDALS and 9 bronze MEDALS, raised the five-star Red flag 24 times, and broke the world record 9 times. It ranks 23rd in total gold MEDALS. [1]

Three little new

Samaranch and Chinese athletes at the 2008 Paralympics
Generally speaking, China's participation in the Paralympic Games is "three less new", that is, the number of participants is small, the number of participating projects is small, the participation experience is small, and the participation is more new. Due to the small number of novices, lack of experience in the field and lack of training, it is difficult to compete with many strong players in the world. As in October 1988 Seoul At the 8th Summer Paralympic Games, more than 4,000 athletes from more than 60 countries and regions participated in 17 sports. Many countries have sent a large delegation, the United States, South Korea, etc. have sent a team of 400 or 500 people, more than 200 people delegations there are five or six countries. China, on the other hand, sent only 43 athletes to compete in track and field, swimming, table tennis and shooting, with only one athlete competing in shooting. In the face of the harsh reality of strong hands, Zhao Jihong, a B2 female athlete who won a gold medal in the 1984 Paralympic Games, won a silver medal in the long jump competition, although he lost to the United States by one centimeter, but he beat the United States, the former Soviet Union, Poland and other strong players in the 100 meters and 400 meters, winning two gold MEDALS in a row. In many events, Chinese players and opponents often narrowly beat or came second by 1 centimeter, a few tenths of a second. Niu Guiping's 100 meters butterfly, Liu Zebing's 100 meters freestyle Only a few tenths of a second faster than the second place, Zhang Wei's shooting champion is only 1 circle more than the runner-up. The three gold MEDALS of women's table tennis were all won through the five passes, and some matches were played all the time, and finally won by 2 points. At the Paralympics, Chinese disabled athletes won a total of 44 MEDALS, including 17 gold, 17 silver and 10 bronze MEDALS, and 11 people broke 9 world records. It ranked 14th in total gold MEDALS. [1]

Human rights protection

As an integral part of human rights protection, sports for persons with disabilities has been highly valued by all countries in the world. Some countries, such as the United States and Australia, have invested heavily in training professional players and conducting long-term scientific training to compete for gold and silver MEDALS on the international stage of sports for persons with disabilities. International disabled sports competition is becoming increasingly fierce, and the competitive level is constantly improving. The competitive level and competitive strength of China's disabled sports have also been greatly enhanced. At the 9th Paralympic Games in Barcelona in 1992, China won 11 gold MEDALS, broke the world record 14 times, and ranked 11th in the total number of gold MEDALS. At the 10th Paralympic Games held in Atlanta in 1996, China won 16 gold MEDALS and broke the world record 16 times, ranking 9th in the total number of gold MEDALS. By the 2000 Sydney Paralympics, Chinese athletes had won 34 gold MEDALS and broken 25 world records, rising to sixth place in the total number of gold MEDALS. Henan blind girl Zhu Hongyan In the training, she overcame the pain of lumbar muscle strain, shoulder inflammation and arthritis, a practice is a few hours, in the Sydney Paralympics, won five swimming gold MEDALS; Sun Changting, a young man from Tianjin, lost a leg in the accident, and after each high jump training, the blood will wet the other empty pants, although, through his own efforts, he not only won the Paralympic champion, but also broke the world record, jumping over the height of 1.90 meters that many ordinary people are difficult to overcome; A 47-year-old female athlete from Guangxi who has participated in the 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th Paralympic Games Zhang Xiaoling One of her legs was fitted with a prosthetic. Board by board, bit by bit, she took each other down. Every time he won a golden medal, he was won by the Chinese Disabled Persons' Federation and State General Administration of Sport Awarded the honorary title of "excellent athlete".

Salient feature

At the Athens Paralympic Games, the Chinese sports delegation has three remarkable characteristics: first, the number of participants is large. The delegation consists of 287 people, including 200 athletes, which is 2.3 times the number of athletes sent to the Sydney Paralympics. Second, there are many participating events. We will participate in track and field, swimming, table tennis, shooting, weightlifting, Blind judo , bicycle, archery , Wheelchair fencing , Wheelchair tennis , Sitting volleyball 11 major events and 284 minor events. There are 5 more major events than the last one, and 125 more minor events. Third, there are many new entrants. There are 161 athletes participating in the Paralympic Games for the first time, accounting for 80.5% of the total number of athletes, and this group of young athletes is the backbone of China's participation in the 2008 Paralympic Games.
China participated in the 1984 New York Para Games for the first time, with 24 athletes, including Binh Ya Ri The women's long jump gold MEDALS of B2 and B3 (visual impairment) with Zhao Jizai were the only two gold MEDALS won by China at the Para Games. In the Paralympic Games, China won 13 silver and 9 bronze MEDALS, the 23rd place in the medal table, and nine people broke the world record.
At the 1988 Seoul Paralympics, China sent 43 athletes to win 17 gold, 17 silver and 10 bronze MEDALS, ranking 14th in the medal table, and 11 of them broke world records. Four years later, the Barcelona Paralympic Games sent the same number of people as the first time, and won fewer MEDALS than the last time, 11 gold, 7 silver, 7 bronze, 14 people broke the world record, 21 people broke the Paralympic record. Although the number of participants decreased, the medal ranking rose by two places, and the results were outstanding.
Chinese sports delegation at the Beijing Paralympic Games

In the morning of September 10, 2012, Beijing time, the 2012 London Paralympics torch burned for a whole 12 days was extinguished at the Olympic Stadium in London, and the 14th Summer Paralympic Games came to a successful end. The whole Paralympic Games has shown the world the spirit of human perseverance. In a fiery "about 8 minutes," Brazilians invited the world: "See you in Rio 2016!"

Award presentation

First of all, the Paralympic Games "tenacious struggle award", that is, "Huang Yanda Achievement Award" award ceremony. South Korean Hwang Yeon-dae, who has made a huge contribution to the promotion of the international Paralympic movement, will present the awards to the two athletes together with International Paralympic Committee vice President Hatang. They not only achieved excellent results on the field, but also reflected the spirit of "inspiring a generation" of the Paralympic Games. The winners were Michael Killop of Ireland and Zakayo of Kenya. Mike Killop, who won the 800m and 1500m gold MEDALS in the men's T37 class at the Paralympics, has been active in encouraging children to take up Paralympic sports in Ireland. Zakayo, who competes in the javelin and shot put, has played a big role in promoting Paralympic sports in Africa.

Born in 1938 and disabled by polio at the age of three, Hwang devoted her life to the development of sports for the disabled.

To Lisa's rendition of the British national anthem, Sylott climbed to the top of the flagpole and hoisted the Union Jack, flying alongside the IPC flag.
The wind stopped raining, and the dragon sprang up. As the world famous Coldplay band "Colorful Life" sang, 164 Paralympic athletes and 164 flag bearers formed a heart pattern around the sundial stage. A grand parade of floats began, and various grotesque floats entered the London Bowl one after another. When "Our Struggle with the World" came on, people found that it was a musical feast. To the song "Heaven," 19 fireflies slowly descend from the top of the stadium.

"Violet Hill" sings, "Snow" is flying in the sky. "42" plays, and the "Crows on stilts" hidden in the autumn scene revolve around the "winter stage." The warriors rescue the "Snow Queen" from the fairy tale "Chronicles of Narnia" from the ice crystal, so "God left a smile on your Face" sounds. The shape of the float symbolizing spring is a huge grasshopper. With the song "Clock" by Coldplay, spring bursts into brilliant vitality, and 12 acrobats perform a thrilling ballet on the car.
In the fireworks, six giant Mayday pillars were erected, eight carousels of animals flew into the sky, symbolizing the joyful closing performance culminated in flying "snowflakes" and swirling fireworks, and Coldplay's "Viva la Vie" became the theme song of the day in the United Kingdom.

"These are simple and magical Paralympic Games," said International Paralympic Committee president Michael Craven. Sebastian Coe, chairman of the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, said: "The London Paralympic Games are setting new records every day - records for sport, records for live audiences, records for television audiences and records for sportsmanship. We will mark the London Olympic and Paralympic Games with a message of high quality and creativity: "2012, Made in London". Although the torch has been extinguished, the ideal light will always shine in our hearts! I'm not sad! '
The Paralympic flame was extinguished after two of Britain's star athletes, Symonds and Peacock, came to the foot of the main torch tower and took down the torch. "This time, I felt unstoppable and heaven was right in front of me." Coldplay's final song, "Every Tear Is a Waterfall," rang through the London bowl, "That flag in my heart will never fall." Fireworks light up the night sky over London, closing the London Paralympic Games! [1]

Paralympic emblems

broadcast
EDITOR
The first Paralympic Games were held in Rome in 1960, but it was not until the 1988 Summer Paralympic Games in Seoul, South Korea that a permanent LOGO was introduced. In 1988, the logo was first used at the Seoul Paralympic Games, consisting of five interlinked "Yin and Yang fish". In 1989, the International Paralympic Committee was established, and the figure became the official emblem of the IPC. The design mainly refers to the "Yin and Yang fish" in the Tai Chi pattern commonly used in East Asian countries, and the design form refers to the typesetting mode of the Olympic five rings, combining the "Yin and Yang fish" in the form of five rings. In March 1992, the Paralympics removed two "Yin Yang fish" from the old version of the LOGO, leaving only three red, blue and green. This was followed by the 1994 Lillehammer Winter Olympics. This version of the LOGO was used until the end of the 2004 Summer Paralympics in Athens, Greece. [5]
From the 2006 Winter Paralympic Games in Turin, the emblem (" Agitos ") was officially introduced. This version of the original red, blue and green three Yin Yang fish into three ribbons, meaning the human mind, body and spirit.
On October 20, 2019, ahead of the unveiling of the Paris 2024 logo, the International Paralympic Games (Paralympic Games) invited London-based design studio North design to optimize the design of the logo, which has been in use for nearly 15 years, and to optimize the IPC visual identity. [6]

Athlete class

broadcast
EDITOR
In order to reflect the principle of fair play and the ability of players to compete with opponents with similar types and levels of disability, athletes with different levels of disability will be divided into different levels of competition. Therefore, each Paralympic Games Each program has its own classification, and the overall classification of disorders can be divided into physical disorders, cerebral palsy, visual disorders, spinal nerve injuries, learning disabilities (intellectual disabilities), and other disorders. [7]
In Paralympic events, an athlete's sport class is composed of a letter followed by a two-digit number. The English letters represent purely the event of the competition, such as the F level for Field (Field) and the T level for Track (Track).
The ten digits in the two-digit number represent the athlete's disability category, and the "1" word represents the visually impaired category. "2" represents the category of intellectual disability, "3" represents cerebral palsy, cerebral palsy or acquired brain injury, "4" represents amputation and short stature, and "5" represents spinal cord injury and some wheelchair groups.
The ones digit in the two-digit number represents the athlete's rank in the disability category, and the lower the number, the more severe the disability, so the higher the number of disabled athletes, the less the impact of disability in the competition.
In the category of visual impairment, level 11 is completely blind or nearly blind; Level 13 meets minimum standards for visual impairment. Level 11 requires a leader and blindfold, while Level 12 requires a leader.
Categories of athlete disability
Level 20: Learning disability. The IQ of the competitor must meet the minimum disability standard for the event, which is below the international standard level of 75 set by the World Health Organization.
Grades 31 to 38 (32 to 38 for track) : Cerebral palsy, in which athletes have symptoms of athetosis, dyskinesia and hypertonia, which make them unable to effectively control their legs, body, arms and wrists.
Players in levels 31 to 34 usually compete in a seated position, while players in levels 35 to 38 have higher body control and can compete in a standing position.
Taking Mohameri Zuan, who won the T36 100 meters gold medal in Malaysia this time, as an example, players participating in this level of competition will have symptoms of slow movement of limbs when exercising, moderate to severe muscle control problems in the upper limbs, good running movements in the lower limbs, and dynamic balance is better than static.
Level 40: Players with short stature may be affected by congenital growth hormone deficiency or acquired diseases. Players are usually of normal intelligence.
Classes 42 to 46: Physically disabled players who do not need to use a wheelchair.
Levels 42 to 44 are lower limb disabilities and 45 to 46 are upper limb disabilities.
Grades 51 to 58 (only grades 51 to 54 in track) : Those who use a wheelchair.
In track, level 51 to 52 athletes usually have limited upper and lower limb mobility, while level 54 athletes have higher body and thigh mobility in field events, level 51 to 54 athletes have no body and lower limb control. Usually level 54 players have normal upper limb movement.
