I really wonder, why are the Olympics so popular yet the Paralympics are not? Why should the Olympics be classified as a world event while the Paralympics are just ‘that other sports’ event where no one really takes notice of them?
Could this be the result of people paradox of wanting to look at those who are better than them?
The Paralympics are so under-rated.. who really has seen their opening or closing ceremonies? (yes they do exist).

In my Opinion, both Olympic athletes and Paralympic athletes have worked equally hard, they all deserve the same sort of recognition.
(on top of everything… Paralympics is not even a word on my spell check =.=)
