Nice Blog. Spread the word and hopefully people like you and I will piss someone off enough to realize disabled sports matter too.

Well, no-one has ever put the paralympics on at the same time as the olympics, it’s not the evil of China that has dictated it so. I’m sure if they really tried they could schedule both in together at the same time, but you have to admit that it is more simple to run it as two seperate events to avoid scheduling conflict? Look at the wheelchair tennis at Wimbledon, similarily put at the end of the tournament due to the volume of contestants and matches for the men’s and single’s tournaments…hell, even mixed doubles gets shafted down the line because of scheduling issues
