Stoke Mandeville is where the Paralympic movement had its origins.
In 1944, at the request of the British Government, Dr. Ludwig Guttmann opened a spinal injuries centre at the Stoke Mandeville Hospital. On the day of the opening ceremony of the 1948 London Olympics, Dr Guttmann organised the first Stoke Mandeville Games for wheelchair athletes. In 1952 the inclusion of Dutch ex-military athletes turned the Games into the International Stoke Mandeville Games.
In 1960 the first Paralympics were held in Rome with 400 athletes from 23 countries. In the Rio 2016 Paralympics there were 4,342 Athletes representing 159 countries. And to think, it all started at Stoke Mandeville.
