In 1952, the Netherlands joined the competition and an international movement was born. The very first Olympic style Games for athletes with a disability were organized in Rome in 1960. In Toronto in 1976, other disability groups, other than spinal cord injuries, were added and the idea of merging various disability groups for international sport competitions began. In the same year, the first Paralympic Winter Games took place in Sweden. Today, the Paralympics are elite sport events for athletes from six different disability groups.

  • Reflecting on Race, Politics and Sport1
    1 Reflecting on Race, Politics and Sport 1 Colin Tatz is Visiting Professor in Politics and International Relations at the Australian National University and founding director of the Australian Institute for Holocaust and Genocide Studies, Sydney. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT: This essay is a reflective overview of Aboriginal and Islander sport, locating their sporting achievements across the decades and in the contexts of several policy eras: the genocidal period, the protection- segregation regime, the assimilation and integration ages, the present era of ‘autonomy’. The essay focuses on the obstacles in the way of sporting success to the point where these minorities have not only become predominant in the ‘stadium sports’ but have come into their own in sports either previously closed to them or not readily accessible. While sport has done much for individuals, sport as such has had little impact on many communities now in states of distress. KEYWORDS: Aboriginal history, Aboriginal life on reserves, discrimination in sport, sporting triumphs 1 Revised version of a keynote address presented at Sporting Traditions XX: Old Stories — New Histories, Darwin, 1 July 2015. Sporting Traditions, vol. 32, no. 2 (November 2015), pp. 1–11. © Australian Society for Sports History, www.sporthistory.org 2 VOLUME 32 no 2 NOVEMBER 2015 Colin Tatz Reflecting on Race, Politics and Sport 3 Just over three decades ago I wrote the opening article in the first volume to discover just how bad it could be in the allegedly more enlightened state of this journal — ‘Race, Politics and Sport’. It was almost identical to the of Victoria, where I had the good and bad fortune to become a member text of my inaugural professorial lecture at Macquarie University in Sydney.
