Final results and medal tally for 2008 Paralympic games in China.
Both world records and the Paralympic games records are tumbling like ninepins. The participants, all who have physical disabilities, prove to the rest of the world that even though extremely challenged they are superb sportsmen with courage and self-discipline not known to most of us.
It's physical function that set the participants in the Paralympics apart from their counterparts at the Olympics. But that doesn't mean disabled people cannot match the achievement of able-bodied Olympic stars.
The Paralympic Games will be tremendously beneficial to Chinese society, and especially the disabled community, a senior US official said yesterday in Beijing.
"When people see what people with disabilities can accomplish, they realize what power the Games has and how it can help make society better," James Peake, secretary of veteran affairs and head of the US Paralympic delegation, said.
