  • Blind Sports Australia Winter Newsletter
    BLIND SPORTS AUSTRALIA A.B.N. 68 008 621 252 A Foundation Member of the Australian Paralympic Committee Newsletter Winter 2018 ~ 1 ~ From the Executive Officer Since our last issue of this newsletter, I have been inspired by so much activity that has been taking place in Blind Sports, at a local, national and International level. I think back to the Commonwealth Games and the efforts of Brad Henderson and Jessica Gallagher in their respective Sprint and Time Trial performances in track cycling and the wonderful gold medal by Lynne Seymour and Jake Fehlberg in the Mixed Pairs B2/B3 Lawn Bowls. I remember how exciting it was to watch these performances on live TV and streaming services and gain a sense of the atmosphere for these athletes performing in front of home crowds on an International stage. I also remember staying up late on a few occasions to watch all of our Aussie Belles and Aussie Storm matches at the World Goalball Championships in Malmo and to see the quality of these elite athletes taking part and the pace and precision of top level Goalball. I have also seen the tireless work of people such as Dave Connolly, who is so committed to cementing Blind and Vision Impaired Football into the sporting landscape in Australia. Dave ran a very succesful camp in Melbourne a couple of months ago and has another national camp taking place in Sydney this weekend, before taking the newly formed national sides on their first overseas invitational tours later this year. At a local level I have had the priviledge of connecting with the Victorian Goalball Association and had the chance to participate in my first match and also join the referee panel for local competition.

  • Ideals and Significance of the Paralympics: Observations from Temporal and Spatial Dimensions
    Ideals and Significance of the Paralympics: Observations from Temporal and Spatial Dimensions Ideals and Significance of the Paralympics: Observations from Temporal and Spatial Dimensions Kazuo OGOURA Introduction As the Paralympics becomes more widely recognized and the public’s knowledge and interest grows, Paralympic competitions are, in part, starting to be commercialized and made into a form of entertainment. The current situation calls for a re-evaluation of what has been considered as the essential significance and effect of the Paralympic Games and the Paralympic Movement on society. In other words, there is an increasing need to look back on the history of the Paralympics to examine its original significance and ideals and, at the same time, to re-evaluate or re-examine the significance and ideals of the Paralympics through comparisons with similar international games and movements. From this perspective, this article will attempt to revisit the original ideals of the Paralympics and to look back on the history of the Paralympics. It will also discuss the significance and ideals of the Paralympics from social and international perspectives, in particular through comparisons with other international disability sports competitions: the Deaflympics, Special Olympics, the VIRTUS（previously INAS） Global Games for persons with intellectual disability, and the Invictus Games. The observation and analysis will focus on Paralympic ideals through the following eight dimensions:（1） as symbolized by the Paralympic symbol;（2） the slogans of the Paralympic Games;（3） the words of Sir Ludwig Guttmann;（4） the speeches at the opening and closing ceremonies; （5） the stage performances at the opening and closing ceremonies, medals, and songs;（6） the achievements of the recipients of the Whang Youn Dai Achievement Award; （7） comparison with major international disability sports competitions; and（8） comparison with the ideals of Japan’s National Sports Festival for People with Disabilities.
