Stoke Mandeville is actually where the Paralympic (a.k.a. “Special Olympics”) movement took place, the first nonofficial events taking place in 1948 in which hospitalized WWII veterans with spine injuries competed in a variety of sports. For the 2012 games, the first to officially recognize the Paralympics in conjunction with the Olympics, disabled individuals will be accommodated better than ever before, per official British mentality of equal opportunity.
实际上斯托克曼德维尔是残奥会的举办地，第一届非官方残奥会举办于1948年，脊椎受伤的二战退伍士兵在各种体育运动中竞技。2012年残奥会首次与奥运会同一年举办，在今年的奥运会中，残疾人运动员将受到英国官方理疗师的同等照料，过得比以往更滋润。
