Paralympians...

Please don't forget about these guys ok? I've just watched a runner from China...a cyclist from somewhere..a swimmer with very little arms....they are all blowing me away....

I see you are more impressed with the human spirit than the nations from which they come.

^
Hahaha funny. Exactly how it should be, anyway. :D

Oh yes Larry, I was impressed, so impressed by the Chinese runner that I forgot to add she was blind! Can you imagine running full throttle when you can't see where you're going? and...hat's off to her aide running beside her....He also has to be very fast haha!!!

I saw some swimmers with no legs and seated basket ball matches
they were amazing

I think the difference with these olympics is...we are not supporting any country in particular we are supporting the individual athlete and...admiring each and every one of them?

^Yup.

I'm atually being very humbled by these olympics...I was just watching the mens swimming there and...the guy who won was a finger and toe amputee...the guy who came second only had one arm....they both hugged and congratulated each other...amazing!

A blind runner? That is really fascinating, these people are so precious and much braver than me.

I watched seated basketball men too the other day and was impressed by how well they can use their wheelchair as implemental instead of an obstacle.

Is this on TV, Hellon. If so what channel? haha

Thank god I have everything and yet I can't do what they're capable of doing. Really amazing.

It's just news bulletins I''ve been watching tonight Mel Chanel 7 I thing but...last night it was on ABC....not sure if you'd get that where your are? There was more coverage then....it's not like the olympics where it was covered day and night (sad really) so....with time differences etc...I'm just getting snatches...

Yeh these people are impressive
I just admire how brave and concentrated these people are
they might be weaker physically at some part of their life but they made it to be champions in sports
really fantastic
