Skyrad 0 #3 September 16, 2008 In Ireland I'm hearing it on the radio. I hope they make as big a fuss over the returning athletes as they did over the first group of returning Olympians. Did you see the Chinese high jump athlete climb the rope to light the flame WHILST STILL IN HIS CHAIR!!!! Bloody hell, what a stella effort.When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

Eight golds between the two of them - a damn sight better than our dismal performance in the regular Olympics. One can't help but be inspired and humbled by all the paralympians.

ltdiver 3 #6 September 18, 2008 LOVED IT that our U.S. Paralympic Quad Rugby Team got the GOLD back again! If you followed their story they lost the gold to the Canadians back in Athens 4 years ago. Nice to see our boys brought it home again this week! Go Zupan! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
