Paralympics

The Gambia has an active National Paralympic Committee,[1][2][3] but has yet to participate in the Paralympic Games.[4] The country is expected to take part in the 2012 Summer Paralympics in London, and plans to use York and Bedford as the main UK training bases for competing paralympians.[5][6][7]
