IWAS World Youth Games, Stoke Mandeville 2005

Location

Stoke Mandeville, United Kingdom

Sports Programme

Athletics

Fittingly the first ever IWAS World Youth Games were held at the birthplace of the Paralympic Movement in Stoke Mandeville.

The Athens 2004 Paralympic Games had taken place the year before, and the time seemed right for IWAS to give more young athletes a platform to compete on the international stage.

The event started small with one of the most popular sports around the world – athletics.
