Wheelchair Tennis History
The history of wheelchair tennis can be traced back to World War II, when Dr. Ludwig Guttmann established the Stoke Mandeville Spinal Injuries Centre in England. Dr. Guttmann pioneered the idea of using sports to rehabilitate spinal cord injured patients.
In 1948, the center hosted the first wheelchair archery competition, marking the beginning of sports activities for people with disabilities. In 1952, the involvement of the Dutch Disabled Archery Teamtransformed the Stoke Mandeville Games into an international event for people with disabilities, and Dr. Guttmann formed the International Stoke Mandeville Games Federation (ISMGF).
Following the 1960 Olympics in Rome, Italy, the first World Games for the Disabled was held in Rome, creating a precedent for the Paralympic Games to follow the Olympic Games model. Since then, the World Games for the Disabled has become a regular event, usually held by the same host country as the Summer Olympics.
In 1989, the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) was officially established to oversee the Paralympic Games and became the global governing body for all parasports and international championships.
These developments have firmly linked international sport for people with disabilities to the Olympic spirit, providing a platform for individuals with disabilities to showcase their abilities and aspire to excellence, promoting inclusivity in sports and societal progress worldwide.
