Seventy years ago this year, on July 29th, the first Stoke Mandeville Games were held. The games - an archery competition for wheelchair athletes - went on to become an annual event and eventually inspired the Paralympic Games. It took place on the day of the Opening Ceremony of the London Olympic Games. Fourteen men and two women took part in the tournament. In 1949, six teams competed and new sports were introduced.
Dr Ludwig Guttmann was a respected neurosurgeon who had fled his homeland of Germany in 1939 to escape Nazi persecution. Five years later, he was asked by the British government to open the Spinal Injuries Unit at Stoke Mandeville which became the largest spinal injuries ward in Europe. There, he treated soldiers and civilians. As part of his treatment, Guttmann promoted sport for physical and mental rehabilitation.
The Games that Guttman created grew in size: there were more 130 international competitors in 1952. This attracted the support and appreciation of the wider sports community. Guttmann became a naturalised British citizen in 1945. In 1956, Guttmann was awarded the Sir Thomas Fearnley Cup by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for his achievement in the world of adaptive sports. The Stoke Mandeville Games became known as the Paralympic Games in time for the 1960 summer Olympics in Rome where 400 Para-athletes participated.
What makes the Paralympics unique is that all the athletes have some form of physical, visual or intellectual difference to the athletes who participate in the Olympic Games. These impairments or disabilities may disadvantage an athlete. A classification system ensures the competition is fair and sportspersons have the same opportunities.

Ellis Challis, the British Paralympic swimmer, has captured the hearts of many with her remarkable skills, courage and inspiring journey. At 16 months old, Challis contracted meningitis which resulted in the amputation of her legs above the knees and her arms at the elbows. Despite physical challenges, she refused to let her disability hold her back. She explains: “I was a curious child and I was really lucky to have people around me who helped me to find solutions so I could do anything I wanted. I learnt to swim when I was around nine years old because my dad wanted me to be safe in the water. I took some lessons; it was a long and difficult process.”
Challis’ journey to the Paralympic stage began with relentless training and unwavering commitment. Her dedication paid off when she earned a spot on the British Paralympic swimming team. At the 2020 Tokyo Paralympic Games, Challis made her debut with a stunning performance. Competing in the women’s 50m backstroke event, she showcased her incredible speed and technique. She won a silver medal and became the youngest British Paralympics medallist in history. During the event, she also met her swimming hero, Ellis Simmond, who was a huge source of inspiration for the young athlete.
Beyond her success at the Paralympic Games, Challis’ journey serves as a reminder that perseverance and passion can overcome any obstacle. She is a symbol of positivity and resilience. She uses her platform to stand for inclusion and accessibility in sports, encouraging others to pursue their dreams. Challis argues: “Nothing is impossible if you keep trying. I want to do things everyone says I can’t. Just to prove them wrong.” Ellie Challis inspires people of all ages to embrace their uniqueness. She will participate in the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games and she is determined to leave a lasting legacy in the world of swimming.
