The 1984 Winter Paralympic Games (German: Paralympische Winterspiele 1984) were the third Winter Paralympics. They took place from January 14 to 20, 1984, in Innsbruck, Austria. These were the first Winter Paralympics organized by a group called the International Co-ordinating Committee (ICC), which started on March 15, 1982, in Leysin, Switzerland. The Games allowed athletes with cerebral palsy to compete. There were three sports: alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, and ice sledge speed racing. The best athlete was a German skier named Reinhild Moeller, who won 3 gold medals and 1 silver medal.[1] The Games, also called the 3rd World Winter Games for the Disabled, were officially approved by the International Olympic Committee (IOC).[2] The regular 1984 Winter Olympics happened in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia, where, for the first time, 30 male three-track skiers competed in a Giant Slalom event.
