Paralympic Games (Men) Paralympic Games (Men) 1984 - 2008 Cumulative Data Number of teams participating 409 Complete rosters retrieved 390 (95%) Rosters sought 19 Imcomplete scores sought 8 for men, 5 for women As indicated above, the team rosters listed below are not complete, particularly in the early years of the Paralympics and the Gold Cup. The authors hope that the publication of this list of teams and players will encourage federations of the International Wheelchair Basketball Federation (IWBF) to search their records in order to add the names of missing players and coaches in a subsequent publication. We apologize for the numerous omissions and for the errors in spelling to certain names. This is due to missing documentation or errors in spelling on documents we obtained. During our editing of this work, in March 2009 and following, we were fortunate to receive some names of players that we had previously had no success in obtaining. We extend our gratitude to Dr. Ian Brittain, Paralympic historian, for providing the names of starting-5s for each competing nation in the 1960 Paralympics, as well as some missing scores. It is hoped that readers will help complete the list of teams. Additions or corrections to team lists may be addressed to armandthiboutot@ aol.com. Additions of names of players and coaches must be accompanied by documentation, which may also be sent via conventional mail to: Armand “Tip” Thiboutot 100 Fulton St., 4V Boston, MA, U.S., 02109 2 Contents Paralympic Games - Men (Stoke Mandeville, 1984 England)............................. 4 Paralympic Games - Men (Seoul, South 1988 Korea)....................................... 12 Paralympic Games - Men (Barcelona, 1992 Spain).......................................... 19 Paralympic Games - Men (Atlanta, 1996 Georgia)........................................... 25 2000 Paralympic Games - Men (Sydney, Australia).........................................31 2004 Paralympic Games - Men (Athens, Greece)............................................38 2008 Paralympic Games - Men (Beijing, China)..............................................45 3 1984 Paralympic Games - Men (Stoke Mandeville, England) Organization The ISMGF assumed responsibility for the 7th Paralympics at the last moment when the U.S. failed to raise the necessary funds to stage the Games. The Olympics had been organized successfully in Los Angeles, California. Instead, the Games for wheelchair athletes were organized in the community where they were founded, at Stoke Mandeville near Aylesbury, England. The British Paraplegic Sports Society (BPSS) undertook direction of the Games, essentially making these Games possible along with the administrators of the Guttmann Sports Center. All other athletes with disabilities competed in New York. Stoke Mandeville’s Ludwig Guttmann Sports Center was only minimally suitable for staging an international basketball event of this stature - its pressed wood parquet floor was darkened with age and pitted with cigarette burns. The backboards were excessively flimsy by any standard. Consequently, some U.S. players chose to boycott the competition. Nonetheless, the men’s and women’s competitions were conducted without incident. They were in fact a success thanks to the generous rescue by Great Britain’s devotees to wheelchair sports who organized the event within four short months. Prince Charles presided over the opening ceremony before a crowd of 3,000 cheering fans. For the first time, amputees and other non-spinal cord related athletes with disabilities were permitted to play in the Paralympic Games as a result of a change in the ISMGF Constitution in 1982. For the first time at the Paralympics, wheelchair basketball implemented Horst Strohkendl’s Functional Player Classification System. 1.

  • WHEELCHAIR SPORTS WA ASSOCIATION Stat
    Extract from Hansard [COUNCIL — Tuesday, 6 August 2013] p2572b-2573a Hon Ken Travers WHEELCHAIR SPORTS WA ASSOCIATION Statement HON KEN TRAVERS (North Metropolitan) [9.51 pm]: Earlier tonight a number of members made reference to the competition on the weekend between Liberal and Labor members at the Wheelchair Sports WA Association. It is worth formally acknowledging in the house that competition, which Wheelchair Sports has been keen to see occur. Wheelchair Sports was very happy with the way the competition turned out on the day. It did not hurt that the National Disability Insurance Scheme was agreed to at the same time. Western Australia has some of the premier wheelchair basketball players. The Perth Wheelcats team is absolutely the best sporting franchise in Western Australia. I long ago gave up on Australian Football League code–based teams and a number of other sporting groups. I still have a great soft spot for West Coast Fever, but our Perth Wheelcats team won five premierships in a row. The team has not won for the past couple of years partly because a number of players have been playing overseas or have injuries as a result of competing in the Olympic Games. However, after the excellent display of wheelchair basketball put on by members of this house and the other place, we were followed by a starting five that included at least three players who have been rated at various times the world’s best wheelchair basketballers. All five of the starting five who replaced us on the court have played for their national team.
