Abstract
The Olympiad for the Physically Disabled is held every four years in the country of the regular Olympics. The 1976 Olympiad was held in Toronto and was the second largest international amateur sporting event in the world that year. Sport for the disabled offers much in the way of benefits, not only for the athlete participants, but also for other disabled people.
