Title: Why do we hold separate Paralympic and Olympic events?
Date: Monday, 13th August 2012
Time: 18:30 - 20:00 BST
Location: The Beveridge Hall, Senate House, Malet Street, London. WC1E 7HU
Why should a Paralympian be different from an Olympian? It has been argued that Paralympic sports should be included within the Olympic Games, with some sports open to both Olympian and Paralympian athletes. On the other hand, perhaps the distinctiveness of Paralympian athletes is something to be celebrated and the separation should be maintained. This panel discussion, chaired by Professor Nick Tyler CBE (UCL Civil Engineering) discusses whether we should incorporate the two events into a single Olympic Games which is open to all.
