Disabled Sports USA Far West

Paralympic Games - Did you know?

 

Watch the games Aug 29 - Sept 9 on YouTube.com/USParalympics   

Disabled Sports USA selected, trained and fielded the USA's winter paralympic team for several decades.

 

We (national) created the U.S. Disabled Ski Team and operated it and a nationwide system of ski races and the national championships for two decades.

 

Later, we integrated the team into U.S. Skiing and gave them control of the team.

 

We selected, trained and fielded the amputee athletes for all sports in the summer paralympic games for nearly three decades.

 

Doug Pringle served on the Board of Directors of the USOC where he led the movement to integrate elite disabled athletes into the USOC. He was on the committee that created U.S. Paralympics.

 

Doug and Kirk Bauer, our national CEO and originally from our chapter, worked to have the Paralympics made a part of the USOC's mission statement. Doug advocated at the USOC and Kirk was instrumental in getting Congress to amend the USOC's Congressional Charter.

 

Doug was a three time National Slalom Champion back in the day!
