London 2012 Paralympics ‘transformed’ attitudes
Nearly 70 per cent of Britons feel attitudes towards disabled people have improved since the London 2012 Paralympic Games. The fi gure comes from the
Department for Work and Pensions’ DWP Paralympic data from the ONS Opinions and Lifestyle Survey – a national, cross-sectional survey. The London 2012 Games
have also had a direct effect on participation levels in disability sport. Government statistics show that there are now 315,000 more disabled people playing sport regularly than in 2005.

Aberdeen stadium “will be ready for 2017”
Aberdeen Football Club’s new stadium at Loirston Loch is set to be built in time for the 2017- 18 season, according to club chair Stewart Milne. Speaking to BBC Scotland, Milne said work to reduce debt was progressing well, helped by good performances on the pitch which earned the team a run in this year’s UEFA Europa League. Milne has previously said he
wants the club to be debt-free before it embarks on relocating to a new home. Plans originally put forward by the club to build a 21,000-seat stadium at Loirston Loch – close to a proposed community sports centre at Calder Park – came to nothing.

North Korea is now turning to sport in to raise its image on the international stage by targeting international competitions such as the Olympic Games, while also “increasing labour output and national defence” by improving its citizens’ wellbeing, according to a North Korean sports delegation. Speaking at a sports science congress in Incheon, South Korea, Yang Song Ho – part of the delegation and assistant professor at Pyongyang’s Korea University of Physical Education – said North Korea was working to make sport “an everyday concern for the masses.”
The announcement was made in the buildup for the Incheon-based Asian Games, which begin on 19 September. The games – which will see 150 athletes make the trip south – mark a rare appearance for North Korea in South Korea, as the two countries are still technically at war after the Korean War ended in a truce, rather than a peace treaty. North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has placed an emphasis on sport since his rise to power in 2012, previously hosting NBA hall of famer Dennis Rodman for an exhibition match.
