Judo, which first began as a martial art activity for practicing mobility, was included as a competitive sport at the Paralympic Games for the first time in Seoul in 1988. At Athens in 2004, women’s weight categories were included for the first time.

The sport is open to athletes with visual impairments in several weight categories. Contests last five minutes and the athlete who scores the higher amount of points wins.

At the London 2012 games, 132 athletes competed in 13 medal events.

'All about ability' - How the Paralympic Movement is maintainingmomentum







Publicado em 2 de dez de 2013
The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) has launched a video
called "All about ability" to mark the United Nations International Day
of Persons with Disabilities. This year's day is themed "Break
Barriers, Open Doors: for an inclusive society and development for
all". The day provides an opportunity to further raise awareness about
accessibility with the ultimate goal or removing barriers and enabling
equal participation for all persons with an impairment. The IPC's video
celebrates the contributions made by para-athletes as agents of change
and development in the communities in which they live. It expresses the
IPC's aspiration that the performances and incredible stories of
athletes teach the values of acceptance and appreciation for people
with an impairment, contributing to the development of a more equitable
society with respect and equal opportunities for all individuals. In
naming the film "All about ability", the IPC focuses on the abilities
of athletes rather than their disabilities. "Your performances will
inspire and excite the world," IPC President Sir Philip Craven says in
the film. "You will not just inspire a generation, but many generations
to come." The film looks back on the history of the Paralympic Movement
and celebrates the milestones achieved so far in terms of athlete
participation, development of sporting events, increased commercial
support and media coverage. It ends with the call to action
that "Together we are spreading a message of respect and equal
opportunity for all individuals." he International Paralympic Committee
(IPC) is the global governing body of the Paralympic Movement. Its
purpose is to organise the summer and winter Paralympic Games and act
as the International Federation for nine sports, supervising and
coordinating World Championships and other competitions. The vision of
the IPC, run by 200 members, is 'To enable Paralympic athletes to
achieve sporting excellence and inspire and excite the world.'
