was switching channels when i saw the paralympics opening ceremony
i really very touched, and paralympics is olympics ,
then why did the gold medalist, who made singapore's national anthem got heard in an olympic prize giving ceremony for the very first time, only get such little publicity & 1/10 of the prize money, so unfair. somemore they dont even stay in sg. they deserve more recognition.
paralympics is much more meaningful, they showcase people who have fallen, & rose again.
they gave more than double the effort, the pain, the sweat & tears, the courage to participate, the fighting spirit. they give hope, and displayed that disability couldnt deter them from reaching the sky. amazing, what they could do. they deserve more respect than anyone else who wins any olympic medal as they unravel the deepest human limits and adaptability.
tried playing football blind?
fencing, how do they dodge it?
running for gold without feeling legs
how painful when they fall
awesome people, salutes. although olympics are offically over, passion and fire inside those people will never die, go for it.
