DEDICATO A MIO PADRE - STOKE MANDEVILLE GAMES 1960
Mio PADRE Pasquale Avitabile (1937-1977),
nonostante un incidente occorso sul lavoro fu un grande sportivo
olimpionico, nelle discipline
come la pallavolo,
pallacanestro, pallanuoto, nuoto e scherma. Tutto ebbe inizio quando il
medico britannico Ludwig Guttmann organizzò una competizione sportiva
nel 1948, conosciuta come Stoke Mandeville Games, per veterani della
seconda guerra mondiale con danni alla colonna vertebrale; nel 1952
anche atleti olandesi parteciparono ai giochi, dandogli un carattere
internazionale. La competizione prendeva il nome da Stoke Mandeville, la
cittadina del Buckinghamshire che ospitava annualmente tali gare.
Dedico a mio padre questo sito e il video
sottostante per ricordare quei pochi momenti di vita trascorsi insieme.
My Pasquale
Avitabile FATHER (1937-1977), in spite of an incident been necessary on
the job was a great olimpionico sportsman, in the disciplines like the
pallavolo, basketball, pallanuoto, swim and fencing. All he had
beginning when the British doctor Ludwig Guttmann organized one sport
competition in 1948, known like Stoke Mandeville Games, for veterans of
the second world war with damages to the vertebral column; in 1952 also
the Dutch athletes they participated to the games, dandogli an
international character. The competition took the name from Stoke
Mandeville, the citizen of the Buckinghamshire that accommodated such
contests annually. In 1958 the Italian doctor Antonio Mallet,
paraplegici director of the center of the National Institute for the
Accident insurance on job (INAIL), proposed to Guttmann to dispute the
edition of 1960 to Rome, than in the same year she would have
accommodated XVII the Olimpiade. “IX International Giochi for
Paraplegici” of Rome 1960, that is the ninth international edition of
the Stoke Mandeville Games, came posteriorly recognized as the summery
Paralimpici Games in 1984, when International Olympic Committee (CIO)
approved of the denomination “Paralimpici Games”. The contacts between
Guttmann and the present Japanese delegation to Rome in representation
of the Organizing Committee of XVIII the Olimpiade of Tokyo 1964 made
yes that Tokyo accommodated International Giochi of Stoke Mandeville of
1964, subsequently recognized as II summery Paralimpici Games. Ideally
the coupling would have had to continue in 1968 to City of Mexico, but
in 1966 the plan was shipwrecked because of the lacked support the
Mexican government. It was then Israel to offer itself to accommodate
the edition of 1968, like part of the celebrations for the twentieth
anniversary of the birth of the state. Giochi di Stoke Mandeville was of
new accommodates to you in the same country of Olympic Giochi in 1972 in
Germany and 1976 in Canada. The first Paralimpiadi Winter was held to
Örnsköldsvik, in Sweden, in 1976. Giochi Paralimpici, or Paralimpiadi,
is the equivalent of Olympic Giochi for physical, visual or intellettive
athletes with disabilità. It thinks like the Olympic Games parallels to
you, they take the name just from the fusion of the prefixed one adorns
with the Olimpiade word and its it derives to you. In Italy they are
still calls also Games to you Paraolimpici or Paraolimpiadi, that it was
the term used officially until 2004. The law n. 189 of the 15 July 2003
“Norms for the promotion of the practical one of the sport from part of
the disabili persons” designates to the Italian Federation Disabili
Sport as paraolimpico Italian Committee (CIP) and uses terms which
paraolimpica activities and Paraolimpiadi. Also successive the decree of
performance, published 5 May 2004 on the Official Gazette, maintains the
same terminology. With the decree of approval of the charter of the CIP
of 17 December the 2004 also Italian norm recepisce the denomination
paralimpico Italian Committee. I dedicate to my father this situated and
below video in order to remember those together little moments of passed
life.
