The presented paper is part of disability studies. It focuses on the Bohemian lands in the last decades of the 19th century and the first decades of the 20th century, specifically on institutes where people who were considered „abnormal“, „deviated“, „sick“ according to the languge of the time, i. e., blind, deaf-mute, mentally and physically impair people were housed. Based on contemporery sports, medical, and daily periodicals, and archival materials from each institute, the paper primarily seeks to show the surprising diversity of physical education and sports activities organised for or by people labeled as „disabled“ at that time. By analysing the discourse on how „disabled“ people should be physically educated, and by exploring the perception of the „disabled“ sport by the „healthy“ part of society, the paper, secondly, aims to elaborate on the mechanism of the then very common medical model of understanding disability as personal tragedy that can be overcome by the willingness of the „disabled“ people to become as „useful“ as the „healthy“ people. In this context, the third objective of this paper is to point out the highly paradoxical role of physical education and sport which on the one hand offered „disbaled“ people an opportunity for increasing their abilities and self-confindence, on the other hand did not include „disabled“ people in gymnastics and sports organisations to any great extent. In this way, physical education and sport, as exlusive, segregating systems, reinforced the dichotomy between the „abnormal“ and „normal“ people. This binary distinction is also evident in the Sports History, where „disabled“ sport is usually treated as a separate phenomenon instead of beig thought together with the „normal“ sport. Therefore, finally, the paper would like to highlight how „disabled“ and „normal“ sport were entangled during the period analysed in order to propose an „inclusive“, non-discriminatory historical narrativ.
