| IPC Has a New Website | |
| The IPC 2nd generation website
has been online since June. At www.paralympic.org you will find a lot of interesting
information about Paralympic sport. The site is still under construction and we are
constantly working on improving our online services to you. We already have more than 500
hits per day. The Paralympian will also be available in the news section. In the future,
we plan to build up a photo and video database. This will enable you to download images of
all Paralympic sports. If you have
any comments or suggestions, please contact the webmaster Uwe Broich at: |
|
| Don’t forget to bookmark: www.paralympic.org | The
Paralympian WebtipIn each future issue of the Paralympian, we will
include a "web tip". If you know a website that you consider to be interesting
for other Paralympian readers, too, and that has no link so far on our site, please e-mail
us the web address!

New Brochure on Paralympic Sport |
| The IPC has recently published a brochure that gives an overview of sport for athletes with a disability. It contains chapters on the history of Paralympic sport, on the Paralympic Games, on the athletes and on the Paralympic movement. It also introduces all 24 Paralympic summer and winter sports. First class photographs illustrate the booklet. Copies can be ordered free of charge from the IPC Headquarters in Bonn. |
| Revised Rules, By-laws and Regulations Now Available |
| An updates version of the IPC Handbook was
published in early October. Three volumes, totalling over 700 pages, contain the IPC
constitution, by-laws, general regulations, the rules for all paralympic sports as well as
a section on how to organise Paralympic Games. It can be ordered from the IPC Headquarters in Bonn. However, in order to keep postage and packing costs as low as possible, you are strongly recommended to download it from the IPC website (www.paralympic.org), where it is updated on a regular basis. If you don’t have access to the internet, the handbook is also available on disk. |
