The idea of Olympic Games originated in ancient Greece, where athletic contests were held every four years from the 700s bc, and perhaps earlier. The games were stopped by a ruling Roman emperor in ad 393. More than 1,500 years later, the Olympics were officially revived. Two hundred forty-one athletes from fourteen countries met in Athens, Greece, to compete in forty-three events.]]> 2020-08-24 23:38:33 UTC https://padlet.com/gabrielsoares2/ug0am5rh18fvwsjm/wish/696161690 IPC gabrielsoares2 https://padlet.com/gabrielsoares2/ug0am5rh18fvwsjm/wish/696163020
In 1989, the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) was founded in Germany to oversee the Paralympic movement and organize the Games. Its mission is “to enable Paralympic athletes to achieve sporting excellence and inspire and excite the world.”

In 2001, the IPC forged an agreement with the International Olympic Committee (IOC). The two
organizations ruled that the city hosting the Olympics would also host the Paralympics. This had already been done with six Paralympics, but the agreement now made it mandatory.
