Olympics For The Disabled
The flames In Montreal weren't the only
Olympics that took place in Canada this year.
From August 3 to 11, Toronto hosted the 1976
Olympiad for the Physically Disabled.
In 1952, the international games for the
paralyzed were initiated in Stoke Mandeville.
England, by Sir Ludwig Guttmann, who-
maintained participation in , sport could help
the handicapped to re-establish self-respect
and self-discipline and to make the must of
. their remaining capabilities. Since 1960, the
date and location of the Games have coincided
a with the regular Olym pics.
1976 marked the first time events were-
scheduled for blind and amputee athletes as
well as for the wheelchair participants. The
three divisions - wheelchair, blind and
amputee - had separate competitions for men
and women. All the athletes were classified
according to the degree of their disability and
competed in their own class.
The events included swimming, track and
field, weightlifting, fencing, archery,' lawn
bowling, rifle shooting, basketball, table
tennis and pentathlon. •
In addition, the wheelchair slalom involved
matioeuVering the chair between gates And up
and down ramped Platforms. For the amputee
athletes, the four lanes of the slalom course
required walking,'-hurdli ng, running and
football dribbli ng. ' •
Meanwhile twenty American and Canadian
athletes demonstrated Wrestling for the
Blinds Which at present is an organized sport—
only in North America.
Our Canadian athletes fared well in this
year's Disabled Olympics, capturing more
than fifty medals. It was Canada's best
showing since joining" the' Olympics hr 1968."
What did the two 1976 Olympiads have in
common besides being held in Canada? Both
featured top athletes from around the world
striving to give -their best performances;

mviacls, 17043 sportsmen and women
rep rafting 50 countries were expected to
compete in the Olympics for the Disabled, but
a dozen countries boycotted the Games to
protest South Africa's participation.
Both Olympiads awarded gold, silver and
bronze medals to• the top three competitors in
each event: 3,000 medallions were, needed for
the Torontalympiad, On the face of each
medal appeared the official gemeS symbol and
name, while on the reverse side were
engraved the phrases "Everyone Wins", and,
in 'braille, "1976 Torontolympiad".
In addition, both Olympiads heisted an
intricate Graphic Symbol. The symbol of the.
1976 Olympiad for the Physically Disabled
consisted 'of three elementS: an equilatoral
triangleewith rounded corners, a pictogram of
a human figure with arms raised in a gesture'
- of achieVement, and three interlocking rings.
The triangle depicted the pyramid of the
international sports movement for the
handicapped, which, rests on a vast• base of
sport and recreational organizations through:
out the world. -The triumphant figure at the
ape* of the triangle . portrayed the
handicapped rising above disability through .
participation in sport.
• The rings were the traditional symbol of the
Stoke Mandeville Games ,three wheelchair
wheels representing Friendship, Unity and
Sportsmanship. Thf'S year the three rings also
represented the three disability groups
competing in the Games - the blind; amputee
and wheelchair athletes.
One of the most important bonds between
the two Olympiads was the opportunity they
gave the athletes to travel, to compete with
their peers, to enjoy comradeship and to
. experience the honour of representing their
country. - ' •
