Development of winter Paralympic Games

The Paralympic movement originated in Europe after World War II. During the war, a large number of soldiers were injured and disabled. Therefore, Britain established a spinal cord injury rehabilitation center. Neurosurgeons took sports as a way of rehabilitation for the disabled with spinal cord injury. On the day of the opening ceremony of the 1948 London Summer Olympics, the UK’s stoke Mandeville Rehabilitation Center organized a wheelchair archery competition, which gradually evolved into an international event - the international stoke Mandeville games. Two weeks after the closing of the 17th Summer Olympic Games in 1960, the 9th International stoke Mandeville Games was held in Rome, Italy. Later, it was recognized as the 1st Paralympic Games by the International Paralympic Committee.

At the same time, the winter Paralympic Games have also developed. Many soldiers disabled by injuries in World War II are experts in ice and snow sports, and their sports hobbies have become their means of rehabilitation and treatment. Their enthusiasm for participating in ice and snow sports has been greatly stimulated. In addition, inspired by the vigorous development of summer Paralympic sports, winter Paralympic sports have gradually developed. In the 1970s, various kinds of skiing and skating competitions for the disabled began to be held. The 1976 Paralympic Winter Games were recognized as the first Paralympic Winter Games in Sweden. After decades of development, the Paralympic Games have become the highest level of competitive sports for the disabled in the world.

History of the International Paralympic Committee

The highest leading body of the International Paralympic movement is the International Paralympic Committee (IPC). This is a non-profit international sports organization for disabled athletes. It was established in Bonn, Germany on September 22, 1989.

In 1960, when the Olympic Games for the disabled was first held in Rome, the participants were only those with physical disabilities, especially those with spinal disabilities. In 1976, when the 5th Paralympic Games were held in Toronto, Canada, the visually impaired and amputees also joined in, which made people feel the need to establish an international sports organization for the disabled. In 1982, the “international sports coordination committee for persons with disabilities” was established, and the IOC recognized it as the governing body of sports for persons with disabilities. In 1989, the International Disability sports coordination committee and five other international disability sports organizations jointly established the International Paralympic Committee. Since 2000, the Olympic Games has reached a cooperation agreement with the International Olympic Committee. Cities that have won the right to host the Olympic Games also need to host the Paralympic Games.

The task of the International Paralympic Committee is to form an organization representing disabled athletes internationally, grant the right to host the Paralympic Games, supervise and assist the games, assist and supervise the world and regional competitions in which the items recognized by the Paralympic Council are officially included, and coordinate the international and regional competition schedule of disabled athletes, Respect the sports technical needs of various groups of persons with disabilities, integrate the sports of persons with disabilities into international sports, while maintaining their characteristics; Interact with the IOC and other international sports organizations, support and encourage various education and rehabilitation plans and promotion activities that contribute to the achievement of their goals, oppose any discrimination in sports for persons with disabilities for political, religious, economic, ability, gender or social reasons, and expand the opportunities for persons with disabilities to participate in sports and improve their performance.

The supreme authority of the International Paralympic Committee is the Congress, which is held at least once every two years. The organization has sports technology department, sports science and medicine department, finance and Marketing Committee, athletes Committee, development committee, legal committee and Regional Committee. The current chairman is Andrew Parsons.

The development history of the logo of the International Paralympic Committee

In 1989, when the International Paralympic Committee was established, the logo was an overall pattern composed of five tadpole shaped patterns connected with each other similar to the Olympic movement. In 1991, according to the suggestions of the International Olympic Committee and the purpose of facilitating market development, the International Paralympic Committee reduced the tadpole pattern from five to three, namely green, red and blue. At the closing ceremony of the 2004 Athens Paralympic Games, the International Paralympic Committee officially launched a new logo: a circular pattern composed of three “leaves” of red, blue and green and the English abbreviation of the International Paralympic Committee “IPC”. The new logo was officially launched at the 2008 Beijing Paralympic Games.
