In 1948 Dr. Ludwig Guttmann organised a sports competition for British war veteran patients that coincided with the Olympics which were being held in London at the same time. This is thought to have been the beginnings of the modern day Paralympics. The first actual Paralympic event was held in 1960 in Rome.
