Professor Gudrun Doll-Tepper Honoured with Two International Awards |

Professor Gudrun Doll-Tepper, Special Advisor and immediate past-President of ICSSPE, was the recent recipient of two international awards, recognising her outstanding services to sports development and her dedication to promoting sports for people with disabilities. The awards were bestowed by Panathlon International and the International Paralympic Committee. This was the first time that either award was given to a German sports scientist or a female representative of organised sport in Germany.
Doll-Tepper received the Panathlon International Flambeau d‘Or award at a ceremony on Saturday, November 14, in Rome. The Panathlon International Sports Federation's Flambeau d'Or awards are presented in three different categories every four years, in the same year as the Olympic summer games. Doll-Tepper received the Flambeau d‘Or award for culture in recognition of her services in developing international sports and her commitment to realizing the "Olympic ideals."
The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) presented Doll-Tepper with the 2009 Paralympic Scientific Award as part of their Awards Gala on November 22 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, paying a general tribute to her many years of involvement in developing sports for athletes with disabilities and her particular contribution to the Paralympic Movement.
