Paralympics are not getting the same attention as Olympics

The same build up should be seen, the same amount of news reports should be seen and most importantly they deserve the same respect and value as an able-bodied athletes.

From my perspective, the Paralympians are achieving much much more than the Olympians.

In some ways, they learn to walk, run or swim in a way that is not natural. That is an achievement. That is worth watching and celebrating.

Each olympic event should be run interleaved with a disabled event and normally abled event.

i.e. 100M blind race, 100M normal race, 100M cripped/wheelie race.
