    2nd only to China in the final medal table on both golds won and total medals, beating the superpower that is the USA. Our country must be doing something right in providing facilities for these athletes to train. Obviously, we're not perfect, but it's good to see we provide opportunities for those with disabilities. Makes me feel proud to be British.

    Paralympics total farce!

    When the competitors in each event have the same level of ability it'll be worth watching.

    Care to elaborate on this?

    "When the competitors in each event have the same level of ability it'll be worth watching."

    It's for this reason that there are categories to try & ensure that all events are between people of equal ability.
