paralympics

Sunday, September 19th, 2004

So last night the Paralympics opened up… I watched the ceremonies off and on (while also watching rugby playoffs) and two key points grabbed my attention.

  • The flag barer for England (a visually impared runner) has medalled in every paralympics since 1984! All I can say is WOW.
  • There is absolutely NO TV coverage in the USA. A country that sent one of the strongest teams has chosen not to cover the games. Personally I think it’s a poor move for the networks.

I wish all the Paralympians the best of luck, I know I’ll be watching some of the games! GO CANADA!!! If you want to check out the results, check out the official paralympic site.
