It's pretty amazing watching the different events and athletes...all taking place at the same venues as the regular Olympics. The US got the gold in quad rugby (murderball) by the way.
Oh my gosh, please someone buy a racing wheelchair for Gabon! :( That is so, so, so sad. And to think he got all the way to Beijing and found that out at the last minute. :( :( :(
Anyone out there following the Paralympics?

The closing ceremony is being show right now on the first link should anyone be interested...as impressive as the earlier one...

Who won women's wheel chair track?
I know some of the people involved. How did the US team do?
I just followed Jess Galli mainly... I know that she got 3 silver, 1 gold, and a bronze. The bronze was with a relay. Who do you know on the team?
Those photos are inspirational and amazing. #20 made me cry. I mean, they all made me cry, but #20 more so.
I'm so impressed and delighted that the ceremonies look just as artistic as for the "regular" Olympics. Thank you for posting this!
