The Paralympic Movement has its origins here when neurologist Sir Ludwig Guttman organised the first wheelchair Games at Stoke Mandeville Hospital to coincide with the 1948 London Olympics.
Last year saw Manchester hosted the second Paralympic World Cup, while every year the London Marathon attracts an elite field of wheelchair athletes to the capital.
The Olympic Village and all of the stadia will be fully accessible both during and after Games.
A creative approach to ticketing will learn from the successful promotion of Paralympic events at the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester.
Multi-venue day tickets and free transport between venues will ensure every athlete enjoys passionate and vocal support.
All of the public transport facilities serving the Olympic Park will be accessible to wheelchair users.
And the entire Docklands Light Railway network and all of London's 21,000 licensed black cabs are already accessible to wheelchair users, as will every London bus by 2008.
英国有引以为荣的残奥会举办经历，2012年伦敦奥运会将会为运动员和观众创造更加便利的环境。
残奥会的历史可追溯到1948年，当时伦敦奥运会正在召开，Stoke Mandeville 医院的神经科大夫Ludwig Guttman爵士在医院内组织了第一次轮椅运动会。
去年曼彻斯特举办了第二次残疾人世界杯，每年的伦敦马拉松都会吸引大批轮椅运动员来比赛。
比赛前后奥运村和所有的体育场馆都将便于残疾人进出。
通过2002年的曼彻斯特英联邦运动会，设计出了一套很有创意的票务系统，可以实现对残奥会的成功宣传。
多场馆的日间票和场地之间的免费交通换乘可以确保观众给运动员们加油助威。
奥林匹克公园所有的公共交通设施将会更便利于轮椅使用者们。
另外整个 Docklands轻轨系统和伦敦的21,000俩注册出租车都已经有便于残疾人上下的设施.到了2008年,伦敦的每一辆公交也会具有这样的功能。
