Many years ago the idea of disabled people doing sport was never heard of.But when the yearly games for the disabled were started at Stoke Mandeville，England in 1948 by Sir Ludwig Guttmann，the situation began to change.
Sir Ludwig Guttmann，who had been driven to England in 1939 from Nazi Germany，had been asked by the British government to set up an injury centre at Stoke Mandeville Hospital near London.His ideas about treating injuries included sport for the disabled.
In the first games just two teams of injured soldiers took part.The next year 1949，five teams took part.From those beginnings，things have developed fast.Teams now come from abroad to Stoke Mandeville every year.In 1960 the first Olympics for the disabled were held in Rome，the same place as the normal Olympic Games.Now，every four years the Olympic Games for the disabled are held，if possible，in the same place as the normal Olympic Games，although they are organized separately.In other years the Olympic Games for the disabled are still held at Stoke Mandeville.In the 1984 wheelchair Olympic Games，1，064 wheelchair athletes from about 40 countries took part.Unfortunately，they were held at Stoke Mandeville and not in Los Angeles，along with the other Olympics.
The Olympic Games have been a great success in helping deepen the international friendship and understanding，and in proving that being disabled does not mean you can't enjoy sport.One disappointment for those who organize and take part in the games，however，has been the unwillingness of the International Olympic Committee to include disabled events at the Olympic Games for the able－bodied.Perhaps a few more years are still needed to persuade those fortunate enough not to be disabled that their disabled fellow athletes should be included.

Tom Whittaker，born in England in 1949，is an amazing example of a Can Do person.The young man came to the United States in 1975，where he studied for a master's degree in Arts.Although studying took up much of his time，he travelled throughout the US and Canada climbing many different types of rock walls.Thus，he made friends with many people with the same interest.
However，on Thanksgiving Day in 1979，a car driven by a drunk driver lost control and suddenly turned into his lane (车道)，striking the head of his vehicle.The injuries to both of his legs and feet resulted in the removal of one of his kneecaps (膝盖骨)，and the amputation (截去) of his right foot.
It wasn't easy，but after some time，with great effort and strong will，Tom rebuilt his hope for life.The report of his story moved the whole nation of America.Eventually he earned another master's degree and founded the Cooperative Wilderness Handicapped Outdoor Group.This programme's success sent Tom around the world to spread his message that it is not the falling down，but the getting back up that matters.He became a professor in Adventure Education at Prescott College in Arizona，where he taught the top outdoor leadership programme in the nation.
After 25 years of experience as a mountaineer，on May 27，1998，Tom achieved his greatest accomplishment so far：reaching the peak of Mt Everest.Tom was actually the first person with a disability to ever climb and stand on the peak of Mt Everest.He realized that reaching the peak of Mt Everest could do nothing to change his disability，but it could do a lot to change attitudes.Tom Whittaker wanted people to realize that disability is as much an attitude as it is a condition.
