Hong Kong Sports Association for Persons with Intellectual Disability

Introduction

(English version is not available)
香港智障人士體育協會由一群熱心為智障人士服務的專業人員於1978年成立，以主辦康體活動予智障人士為目標，積極發展、推廣及組織智障人士體育活動，務求令其盡展潛能、培養崇高體育精神及積極融入社群。

本會是全港唯一舉辦體育活動予智障人士的機構，經過數十年的發展，擁有近百個機構會員和數千名註冊運動員及參與者，每年參與活動的總人數逾五萬人次。

為了使智障人士的體育癹展更上一層樓，香港智障人士體育協會在1996年正式成為「國際智障人士體育聯盟」會員，更在2000年的「悉尼殘疾人奧運會」一鳴驚人，奪得乒乓球女子單打金牌和女子跳遠銀牌；繼而在2004年的「雅典殘疾人奧運會」乒乓球女子單打示範項目取得一面銀牌。而泳隊及田徑隊亦蜚聲國際，成就不遑多讓。經過十二年，智障組別重返殘奧，本會七名運動員出戰2012年9月於倫敦舉行的殘疾人奧運會，於乒乓球及游泳項目與世界運動精英同場較勁，共奪一金一銀二銅的佳績。

而本會運動員於里約熱內盧2016殘疾人奧運會的游泳及乒乓球項目取得一金一銅的佳績。游泳運動員鄧韋樂不但於男子S14級別200米自由泳決賽中奪得殘奧游泳項目香港隊歷史以來的第一面金牌，他更以1分56秒32打破自己個人最佳時間及殘奧記錄。
