Where does the Paralympic Flame come from? What does it represent?

The Paralympic Flame is lit a few days before the Paralympic Games in the United Kingdom at Stoke Mandeville. This location is associated with the birth of the Paralympic movement.


Indeed, it is a hospital where the German neurologist Sir Ludwig Gutman organized the first competitions to accelerate the recovery of his paraplegic patients, all veterans of World War II.
