Embed is disabled but its worth clicking and watching. It shows Paralympic Athletes getting ready/competing in some of the games. Great stories and it shows some amazing people doing amazing things.

i have so much respect for disabled athletes, it's always so inspiring and makes me, as a non disabled person appreciate what i have + it makes me want to step up my game!

i dunno if it was on here that i read it or somewhere else but there recently was a process against disabled marathon runners because their artificial legs gave them an 'unfair advantage' over healthy runners, i seriously lolled hard at that, and felt really sorry, not for the disabled but for the pathetic people who sued them .....

This. If being an able bodied olympian takes so much dedication, can you imagine the work being a para olympian must take? The best part is these people never make excuses for their situation - they just accept it and keep on truckin
