This is a multi-sport event for athletes with physical, mental and sensory disabilities. Games include wheelchair tennis, basketball, rugby as well as judo and other games for athletes who cannot see well. In England in 1948 a Jewish doctor Sir Ludwig Guttmann came up with the idea of organising a sports competition for World War II veterans with spinal injuries. In 1960 Rome hosted the first Paralympic games for disabled athletes from around the world. Athletes from the USSR took part in the Paralympics for the first time in 1988. Today the Paralympics are held after the Olympic Games in the same host city. The purpose of the games is to empower and inspire athletes with disabilities. Goccia and goalball are the para sports. The most popular one is goalball. The players try to throw a ball that has bells in it into the opposing team's goal. Since they can't see they can only hear and understand the position of the ball from the sound the bells make. Fans should keep quiet during all the game.
