200 days to go until the London 2012 Paralympics

It's 200 days to go until the London 2012 Paralympics and to celebrate this milestone the Minister for Sport, Huw Lewis AM, talks about Wales' success in developing world class disability sport. 

Sport matters. It does not just reflect the world we live in, it has the power to change it too. And on no stage is this more true than the Paralympics Games. During recent Games, Wales has been inspired by many stories of courage, defeating the odds and of our athletes beating the best in achieving glory for ParalympicsGB.  Already London 2012 promises us more of the same and with it being so much closer to home, the build-up promises to be even more intense.

With just 200 days to go until the start of the Games, the excitement is building by the day - and now is a good time to say congratulations to those Welsh athletes who have already made it into ParalympicsGB . Steve Thomas, from Bridgend, has been selected for sailing and nearly half of the Table Tennis team announced so far is made up of Welsh athletes. They are Sara Head, Paul Davies, Paul Karabardak and Rob Davies. They are coached by Neil Robinson, from Bridgend.

Wales’ record in producing top Paralympic athletes is outstanding. In Beijing, Welsh athletes won a quarter of ParalympicsGB’s gold medal haul, a stunning achievement. I remain very proud of the fact that Wales remains at the forefront of disability sport at all levels - this success is testament to the work of Disability Sport Wales, its officers and its army of volunteers and of course the sheer commitment of athletes and coaches. It is this success, along with our world class facilities, that has helped to attract Paralympic Pre-Games Training Camps to Wales.

This is a once-in-a lifetime opportunity for our athletes to compete on home soil and I’m sure they will do Wales, and ParalympicsGB proud. 

200 diwrnod i fynd tan y Gemau Paralympaidd Llundain 2012

Mae hi'n 200 diwrnod i fynd tan y Gemau Paralympaidd Llundain 2012 ag i dddathlu'r cam yma mae'r Gweinidog Chwaraeon, Huw Lewis AC, yn siarad am llwyddiant Cymru yn datblygu chwaraeon anabledd gorau'r byd.

Mae chwaraeon yn bwysig. Maen nhw’n gwneud llawer iawn mwy na dim ond adlewyrchu’r byd yr ydym yn byw ynddo. Mae ganddyn nhw’r pŵer i’w newid hefyd. Ac nid yw hynny’n fwy gwir yn unman nag yn achos y Gemau Paralympaidd. Yn ystod Gemau a gynhaliwyd yn y blynyddoedd diwethaf, cafodd Cymru ei hysbrydoli ar ôl clywed hanesion lu am ddewrder pobl ac am eu llwyddiant yn wyneb anfanteision. Fe’i hysbrydolwyd hefyd ar ôl gweld ein hathletwyr yn cyrraedd y brig ac yn dod â bri i Dîm Paralympaidd Prydain Fawr. Mae Llundain 2012 yn argoeli’n dda eisoes, a chan y bydd y Gemau yn gymaint nes adref, mae’n debyg mai cynyddu a wnaiff y brwdfrydedd wrth iddyn nhw nesáu.

Dim ond 200 diwrnod sydd i fynd tan ddechrau’r Gemau, a chynyddu mae’r cyffro hefyd. Mae’n amser da, felly, i ni longyfarch yr athletwyr hynny o Gymru sydd wedi cael eu dewis eisoes ar gyfer Tîm Paralympaidd Prydain Fawr. Mae Steve Thomas, o Ben-y-bont ar Ogwr, wedi’i ddewis ar gyfer y tîm hwylio, ac mae bron hanner aelodau’r tîm Tennis Bwrdd a gyhoeddwyd hyd yma yn athletwyr o Gymru. Bydd Sara Head, Paul Davies, Paul Karabardak a Rob Davies yn cael eu hyfforddi gan Neil Robinson, o Ben-y-bont ar Ogwr.

Mae gan Gymru hanes rhagorol fel meithrinfa ar gyfer athletwyr Paralympaidd o’r radd flaenaf. Yn Beijing, enillodd athletwyr o Gymru chwarter y medalau aur a enillwyd gan Dîm Paralympaidd Prydain Fawr, sy’n dipyn o gamp. Dw i’n ymfalchïo’n fawr yn y ffaith bod Cymru ar flaen y gad ym maes chwaraeon i bobl anabl, a hynny ar bob lefel. Mae hyn yn tystio i’r gwaith sy’n cael ei wneud gan Chwaraeon Anabledd Cymru, ei swyddogion a’i lu o wirfoddolwyr, ac yn tystio hefyd i ymroddiad llwyr yr athletwyr a’r hyfforddwyr. Y llwyddiant hwn, ynghyd â’r cyfleusterau o safon byd eang sydd gennym yma yng Nghymru, sydd wedi helpu i ddenu timau Paralympaidd i sefydlu Gwersylloedd Hyfforddi yma cyn y Gemau.

Mae hwn yn gyfle heb ei ail i’n hathletwyr gael cystadlu gartref, a dw i’n ffyddiog y bydd gan Gymru, a Thîm Paralympaidd Prydain Fawr, le i ymfalchïo ynddyn nhw.
