    Extractions: SYDNEY, Australia Rain that threatened to spoil the celebration held off Wednesday for the 11th Paralympics to open with a big party. Huge fish float above the crowd during the opening ceremony of the Paralympic Games in Sydney Wednesday. The biggest Paralympics picked up where the Sydney Games, the biggest of the modern Olympic era, ended 17 days earlier in a vibrant spectacle of dance, music and Aussie icons. Thousands of glowing flashlights inside the stadium compensated for the starry cosmos that usually backlights the Southern Cross constellation that was hidden behind overcast skies. Gray clouds hung menacingly over the city all day and weather forecasters had predicted heavy rain and strong winds during the evening, but it never rained. Another full-scale party was already in full swing by the time governor general Sir William Deane declared the games open and swimmer Tracey Cross read the oath. In his opening address, International Paralympic Committee president Robert Steadward paid tribute to the unparalleled success of the Olympic Games, then promised more of the same.

    Extractions: China is preparing to hold its first Olympic Games this year, and along with it, the Paralympics Games for disabled athletes. Chinese officials acknowledge that they are far behind in providing equal access for the country's disabled citizens, and they hope the games will help improve the situation. Beijing wants to host a festive Olympics this year and officials say the Paralympics should be equal in splendor. Beijing has built new facilities for the games and for training China's disabled athletes. Chinese officials say there are 83 million people with disabilities in China and two million of them play sports. Cao Qiuping hopes to play basketball for the Chinese team. She says the Paralympic Games will help reduce prejudice in China against the disabled. "A lot of people take [disabled people] to be obedient and docile. In fact, it's not like this. Their understanding is wrong. We want to use this opportunity to show them the real appearance of handicapped people." An estimated 4,000 athletes from 150 countries are expected in Beijing for the Paralympics.

46. What And Where Are The 2008 Paralympics
    Article explaining the paralympics including what they are and where they are held each year.  
    http://www.disabled-world.com/artman/publish/paralympics.shtml
    
    Extractions: The Paralympic Games are a multi-sport event for athletes with physical, mental and sensorial disabilities. This includes mobility disabilities, amputees, visual disabilities and those with cerebral palsy. The Paralympic Games are held every four years, following the Olympic Games, and are governed by the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) - (The Paralympic Games are sometimes confused with the Special Olympics, which are only for people with intellectual disabilities.) When did the Paralympic Games First start? The Paralympics first started in 1948 when Ludwig Guttmann organized a sports competition which involved world war 2 veterans that had spinal injuries. Afterwards a similar event was organized in Toronto, Canada where different disability groups were added and the idea of merging together and taking part in athletic sports was a success. The name derives from the Greek "para" ("beside" or "alongside") and thus refers to a competition held in parallel with the Olympic Games. No relation with paralysis or paraplegia is intended, however, the word Paralympic was originally a portmanteau combining 'paraplegic' and 'Olympic'.

    Extractions: The world's second-largest amateur sporting event just ended. Elite athletes from around the globe competed against each other in dozens of events, shattering records and bringing home medals for 68 countries. But I missed this 12-day event, and chances are you did, too. You see, the United States doesn’t carry broadcasts of the Paralympics. Neither does Australia, which is strange considering it's the country hosting this event. The media in many countries faithfully ignore it, and sponsors stay away in droves. In 1960 the Paralympics first brought together the world's greatest disabled athletes to compete in Olympic-style events. Since the 1970 Games, all forms of disability have been incorporated, so that athletes compete in one of six categories: amputee, wheelchair, cerebral palsy, sight impairment, intellectual disability, and "les autres" (French for "the others," a catch-all category for people with other forms of disability). Within each category, athletes compete against others of similar functionality. For example, blindness is divided into three levels, and cerebral palsy is comprised of eight levels.

    Extractions: Phil Scholz Sets Third American Record At U.S. Paralympics Open Swimming Championships Greyhound swimmer wins three events at championship meet Dec. 8, 2007 College Park, Md. - Loyola freshman Phil Scholz set his third American record of the weekend with a first-place finish in the 1500-meter freestyle at the 2007 U.S. Paralympics Open Swimming Championships at College Park on Saturday. Scholz, who is classified as an S11 blind swimmer, set the record with a swim of 20:47.20 in the event. "Philip had a great meet this weekend competing against international competition for the first time," said Loyola Head Coach Brian Loeffler . "I am so proud of how he fared against other blind athletes." Overall, Scholz set American records in the 50-meter butterfly, 800-meter freestyle and 1500-meter freestyle over the three-day competition. He placed first in all three events, breaking the American record in the 800 Free by two minutes. Scholz also placed second in the 50 Free and took third in the 400 Free against some of the world's top competition. His times in all five of his placing events also give him world ranking at the S11 category.

    Extractions: The Paralympic Games are the second largest sporting event in the world, conceding top honors only to the Olympics. The multi-sport competition showcases the talents and abilities of the world's most elite athletes with physical disabilities. More than 4,000 athletes from over 140 countries will participate. The Paralympic Games are held after the Olympic Games in the same host city/country. The Paralympic Games are distinctly different than the Special Olympic World Games. The two, which are often confused as one in the same, are totally separate competitions. Each Games are developed by two entirely different organizations which have different objectives. The Paralympic Games provide world-class competition for elite disabled athletes at the highest level. Much like Olympians, Paralympians compete for gold, silver and bronze medals against the best-disabled athletes in the world.

Since then, the number of men and women competitors has grown many-fold and with close to 150 Paralympic Judo athletes expected to participate in the 2008 Beijing Games, Paralympic judo continues to enjoy growing popularity. All athletes participating in Paralympic judo are blind or visually impaired. They compete under the same rules as all judo athletes with the exception that instead of a standard mat, that visually shows the boundaries of the competition area, they compete on one that uses different textures to mark the zones. Through the year, these athletes participate in events throughout the country and you can follow the results of those competitions right here.

57. Paralympics Get Big Boost From Iraq Vets - MSNBC Wire Services - MSNBC.com
    Jul 4, 2006 More than 19000 have been wounded since start of war in March 2003.  
    http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/13702452/site/21683474/
    
    Extractions: BOISE, Idaho - The nearly 19,000 American soldiers wounded in Iraq since the start of the war in March 2003, including more than 500 amputees, are expected to help lead future U.S. Paralympic teams. Soldiers returning from Iraq paralyzed or missing limbs are young, fit and fiercely competitive, making them ideal athletes. Advocates for the disabled predict Iraq vets will account for 10 percent of the 500-member U.S. Paralympic team for the 2012 London Games, even though they'll make up far less than 1 percent of the total disabled population. "This newest batch of veterans will be a tremendous boost to the Paralympic sport movement,'' said Kirk Bauer, director of Rockville, Md.-based Disabled Sports USA, who lost his left leg in 1969 to a North Vietnamese hand grenade. "It has energized it, in ways we haven't seen in years.'' They also have the Department of Defense behind them: The 14-year-old Army World Class Athlete Program at Fort Carson near Colorado Springs, Colo., which trains able-bodied service members for U.S. Olympic teams, now is considering disabled candidates to ready them for the next Paralympics.
