>To promote the understanding of the plight of disabled people in society.
I get that, which is my main beef. It's not a real competition. It's a massive PR stunt. Much as I care about the plight of the disabled, a huge international competition with international TV coverage is way over the top. Also, these people are the lucky disabled. What about an Olympics for paraplegics or those with locked in syndrome? Those people really suffer.
>If you train hard enough as a completely able bodied person, i.e. no debilitating illnesses, no physical reason you can't be equal to others with 2 arms and 2 legs.
Maybe in some events, but 100m winners are born into it. Training won't increase the length of your legs.
