This is the result of the first visit of the Liaison Committee of the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) to the Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games Athens 2004 (ATHOC), which was concluded today. The Paralympic Games, which are the equivalent to the Olympic Games for athletes with a disability, will take place shortly after the Olympic Games, using the same sporting facilities. Around 8,000 participants (including athletes and officials) from more than 120 countries will be involved in 18 sports, 14 of which are Olympic sports. Athens 2004 will be the first Paralympic Summer Games with an integrated Organizing Committee for both Olympic and Paralympic Games. ATHOC assured the IPC that the Paralympics will receive the same attention as the Olympic Games and that athletes will be delivered the same level of services. “We are very committed to the Paralympics and it is our goal to deliver the best Games ever,” said Mr. I. Spanudakis, Managing Director of ATHOC. Despite the fact that the host city contract between the IPC and ATHOC was only signed in April 2001, the Liaison Committee was positively surprised by the progress the Organizing Committee has made.

Home Life Athens 2004 Athens faces challenge of expanded Paralympics 2004 organisers expect biggest-ever field after participation fees are scrapped Athens is set to feel the knock-on effect of the overwhelming success of the Sydney Paralympics , with more athletes than ever targeting a place at the 2004 Games An unprecedented 4,000-plus competitors are set to descend on the Greek capital for the event that follows hot on the heels of the Summer Games. End to participation fees With the historic decision to scrap charges to athletes to compete, Athens faces a costly challenge to upgrade facilities and provide access to the largest ever Paralympic field. Equality of opportunity requires equality of access, the Athens organisers (ATHOC) admit and initial blueprints, presented to the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) in July 2001, show they are prepared to start from scratch in order to ensure easy access throughout the city for the athletes. "The very meaning of the Paralympics - a term derived from parallel-Olympics - is to adapt the rules of Olympic sports with as few changes as possible," ATHOC says. "A number of difficult interventions in the city's busy centre, including the widening of many pavements, have been approved. The long term legacy for the city is worth the money and effort," says ATHOC Paralympics manager Aristotelis Kallipolitis.

38. Three Paralympics Athletes Among the paralympics champions who will compete in Atlanta's 1996 Games Barcelonagold medals; Scot Hollonbeck, CocaCola olympic sports marketing coordinator http://gtalumni.org/StayInformed/magazine/sum96/para.html

Full-Fledged Stars Despite their disabilities, Paralympic athletes display all the Olympic ideals. By Jeanie Franco Marx star with a point missing that's the core of the 1996 Paralympics Games logo. Completing the picture, an Olympic flame arcs from point to point, igniting the determination that creates win ners. "Starfire" is an apt symbol for the 3,500 disabled athletes representing 127 countries. Come Aug. 15, champion swimmers will compete at Georgia Tech's Aquatic Center, while other events will pepper Atlanta, the first U.S. city to host the Paralympic Games. Launched in 1948 at England's Stoke-Mandeville Hospital to coincide with the London-based Olympic Games, the Paralympics got off to a rocky start until 1960 in Rome, when it became an official quadrennial event. Since then, it's grown from 23 countries t o 127 and from limited wheelchair sports to 17. They include track and field, basketball, cycling, swimming, weightlifting, tennis, fencing, rowing and judo. These athletes perform a balancing act, trying to keep their lives in sync. Despite daily workouts and training practice that eat up large chunks of each day with virtually no leisure time they still find time to work. That means extremely long days. Unf ortunately, family life suffers when you commit yourself to becoming a world-class athlete. Among the Paralympics champions who will compete in Atlanta's 1996 Games are Trischa Zorn, elementary school teacher and swimmer with 10 Barcelona gold medals; Scot Hollonbeck, Coca-Cola Olympic sports marketing coordinator and gold-medal wheelchair racer in the 4 x 400-meter and 800-meter events; and Linda Mastandrea, attorney/advocate for the disabled and national track-and-field champion, voted U.S. Cerebral Palsy Athletic Association "Athlete of the Year" in '93 and '95.
