Beautiful pictures! Looks motivating to try some sports, too. I knew that there are Paraolympics. But how is it possible to choose a winner? The handicapped poeple differ so much from another. One is tetraplegic, the other "only" atactic. How can they concur with one another? From Austria, there was no medaille - winner in the Olympic Games this year. But we had someone successful in the Paraolympics. What a chance for the Austrian Media o be proud for the handicapped ones. and fill this gap of "loosing" in the Olympic Games...
