1984 New York Paralympic Games logo

The second Summer Paralympic Games, for Sitting Volleyball, in Nassau County NY shows a higher number of registrations. The 1984 Paralympics, at the time, were known as the 1984 International Games for the Disabled. They were split between New York USA, and (originally)  Champaign USA. This as wish of the American Wheelchair Federation.

The Games in Champaign were canceled late for financial reasons. These Games will now be moved to Stoke Mandeville (England) in consultation with ISMGF and with financial support by the Dutch Fund NFSG.
