Some sport I'm actually interested in! (I actually made a thread, I never make threads except for the 667er, but hey-ho). The paralympics are fun. Who agrees? www.youtube.com/watch?v=IocLkk3aYlk

olympic people are way better than ever before because athletic training has evolved.
paralympic people are way better than ever before because the quality of prosthetics, etc. has evolved

olympic people are way better than ever before because athletic training has evolved. I don't believe that that is the only or even the main reason, which is why I find professional sport people very scary.

There is also an element of recruitment. As countries get wealthier, they can spend more money locating young people who are naturally talented and/or have certain genetic factors that make them better athletes. These young people can start perfecting their sport earlier.

I support it, but do not watch, because commentators assume you can see the main action. The irony is sad.
