Paralympics

[purser25]

Watching this find it very good. Actually watched the athletics in the stadium in 2012. Something I will never forget. But I find interesting and rather sad is how poorly the USA are doing at the moment. Do they not encourage para sports? Shame on them if they don’t all that wealth and a large population

Could it be the other countries have more funding?

America seems to have a real thing about trying to brush disability under the carpet, amongst many (many many many) other issues. No surprise to me that there isn't much funding for their athletes. It is sad.

Can’t see Trump watching the Paralympics wonder how they will do when it is in LA

i have noticed this in previous paralympics
but they have a couple of winners in athletics today

Mind you Moscow refused to host the Paralympics because they didn’t have any disabled people!

i just read this, they had to be held in the Netherlands

seems that USA paralympics have been top of the medal table in 80s and 90s interestingly
