Thanks for posting that WWODB. Those photos are amazing.

I have to admit I had tears in my eyes after looking at those. Not out of pity, but something else that I cannot explain, (but awe, respect are certainly both in there).

Seeing those guys skiing is fantastic. I went skiing for the first time last year, and was amazed at what a fantastic experience it was. So on the one hand I'm delighted that disabled people are are able to enjoy that wonderful experience, on the other hand I am utterly impressed that they have learned to do it so well with reduced limbs etc.

Those pictures really bring it home to me what a wonderful idea the Paralympics are.

Alex Zanardi is an amazing guy.

That is excellent. What a guy !!

I love cycling. I cycle about 50km most Sundays. But powering your bike with your arms, that must be really hard. He must have pretty amazing arm muscles. Things like that, I think are really good, as they show others just what is possible.
