Tel Aviv 1968 Paralympic Summer Games

It had been expected that the 1968 Summer Paralympic Games would be hosted in Mexico City until 1965 when the International Stoke Mandeville Games Committee was advised that this would not be possible due to financial constraints and accessibility issues with the facilities. In 1966 the Games were awarded to Israel who were ‘most enthusiastic’ about hosting the Games, particularly as they would coincide with the twentieth anniversaries of both the state of Israel and Stoke Mandeville Games.

Heidelberg 1972 Paralympic Summer Games

The Heidelberg 1972 Summer Paralympic Games saw an additional fifteen countries competing for the first time and an increase of over two hundred athletes from the number competing in Tel Aviv four years earlier. The City of Munich’s plan to convert the Olympic Village into private housing prevented the Games from being held there after the Summer Olympics, so they were relocated to Heidelberg.
