A German guy (I forget his name; google it!) started the Paralympic Movement in 1948 to rehabilitate World War-2 soldiers. A German? Seriously?
An athlete having polio won 8 gold medals back in the 1900, 1904 & 1908 Olympics before the Paralympics began.
Can you even imagine that? I can.
That thing has happened a century ago when there was hardly anybody (I mean the athletes themselves) who gives a damn about Olympics.Ever heard of ‘Goalball’ in Paralympics?
It’s a sport which is kinda similar to ‘Body Integrity Identity Disorder’.Google the “Body Integrity Identity Disorder”.
