My Plusport day experience

Last sunday (05.07.09), I attended Plusport day at Mallingnen/Macolin a region in the Berner Oberland of Switzerland. On this day, physically and mentally handicapped people come at Mallingnen to participate in wide range of sport activities.

At Mallingnen, I was responsible to support the high jump (in German HochSprung) team. The rules of the high jump at Plussort were quite easy, every participant were allowed to take maximum 3 chances, if there were successful, then they bar was raised by half a meter. I was asked to either handle the bar stuff or to look at the scores of the particpant. As, I am bad in German language, so I took the handling of bar stuff.

People arrived either individually or groups accompanied with their guardian or coaches. Every body tried their level best to achieve, and most of them did achieve that level which even the abled person would have achieved.

The best part of the event was the smile on the participant, and the exuberance of achievement, which really took my breath away. This was certainly one of the best life time experience of my life.

Thanks&Regards,
Mohit
