    Like many people, you've confused the Paralympics (which are for those of us with physical disabilities, and are meant to be "parallel" with the Olympics- they're professional-level athletes competing in the same sports as the Olympics, in the same facilities) with the Special Olympics (which are for people with intellectual disablities, and are fantastic in their own way.)

    • @ColinKillick
      @ColinKillick 3 года назад +1

      You're right that people mix the two up all the time, but this hoax really was at the Paralympics, just in one of the few Paralympic events that *was* for people with intellectual disabilities. And because the story was so widespread, its contributed greatly to that misconception continuing.

  • @ColinKillick
    @ColinKillick 3 года назад

    Just a note that the IQ limit was for that specific event; not the Paralympic games as a whole. The paralympics breaks down its events by disability type, including such events as Wheelchair Basketball, distinct track and field events for visually impared athletes, amputeees, and wheelchair users, and two versions of soccer, one for visually impaired athletes with a ball that makes noise when kicked, and another for athletes with cerebral palsy and other neurological disorders. Intellectual Disability Basketball was only played at the 1992 and 2000 games (the latter being the one where Spain cheated), but there are still events today for athletes with intellectual disabilities in swimming, athletics, table tennis, badminton, and taekwondo.
    Note that the Paralympics are entirely separate from the Special Olympics. The Paralympics is directly tied to the Olympics (being held immediately afterward in the same venues) and has a similar focus to the Olympics on competition between elite competitors in their respective disciplines, and most of its events are for people physical and sensory disabilities. The Special Olympics is focused more on the social benefits of competition for people with disabilities at a wide range of skill levels, and most of its events are for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

    In 1974 the Buffalo Sabers drafter a guy from Japan named Taro Tsujimoto in the 11th round. It turned out to be a hoax created by Sabers GM Punch Imlach & PR Director Paul Wieland because they were fed up with the slow drafting process by phone, which was intended to keep draft picks secret from the "World Hockey Association." The NHL just started to look at prospects from other country's (except the Soviet Union) during this time which helped make it easier to make up a fictional person. I though it was an interesting hoax in sports.
