    Sorry but who gives a shit about Paralympic’s and why? Feel like they are astroturfing this place for PR… I don’t know a single person that has ever watched it as it is basically the antithesis of the actual Olympics (what is peak human capability/achievement).

      The world record for the T44 (single-leg amputee) men’s 100m is 10.81s, which is a very impressive 100m time without considering the fact that they are running on a prosthetic leg! Just because these athletes are missing limbs or are visually impaired or have spinal cord injuries, that doesn’t mean that they aren’t at their peak of human capability or achievement. It’s also a very human trait to overcome adversity, which all of these athletes do! I highly suggest you watch it to see just how impressive these athletes are in their own right, regardless of their disabilities
