Deaf Spacker Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 The Paralympic opening cermony is tomorrow! Who will be watching that and the events? If you do watch it, look out for a Lloyd Upsdell... He will be in 100m sprint and 200m sprint (cannot remember what class). He belongs to my disabled sports club :D Go Lloyd! :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/218721-paralympics/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have so much respect for these people who compete in the Paralympics - some of the things they do despite their disabilities is amazing. :yes: I hope if I ever experience an injury *God forbid* which means I am bound to a wheel chair, or lose a limb, that I will have even half the stregth of mind and character that these athletes do.

nzbm Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Yeah. The paralympic athletes are amazing! Especially the russian with no arms who won the 100m backstroke I think. They are just awesome. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/218721-paralympics/#findComment-584641169 Share on other sites More sharing options...
