This year is the first time I’ve watched the Olympic games, and I absolutely loved watching judo. Imagine my thrill when I found out judo will also be featured in the Paralympics!

Anybody else planning to watch the Paralympics? If so, what sport? I am a bit curious about “blind football” and “wheelchair basketball” (as titled in my language), so I might give those a try as well.

    I didn’t think Special Olympics was an acceptable phrase. I also thought deaf people compete in the paralympic games.

    I could do with a better understanding, but as I mentioned above I’m all Olympiced out and I’m not really interested enough to read up. It might seem harsh, but I don’t care enough and don’t think I should feel guilty about it.

    (I’m not saying you suggest I should feel bad by the way)
