I spent a few month traveling around Europe during the last summer Olympics with a whole bunch of Aussies and Kiwis. We got to talking about what events we like, etc., when they brought up the Paralympics. I had, of course, heard of them, but no one I knew had actually watched the Paralympics. The Aussies/Kiwis were shocked. They said people in their countries watch them just like the Olympics and they all knew specific athletes they were rooting for. I was embarrassed.
So my question is: Do you watch the Paralympics? Do you know anyone who does? Is it on network tv? That was more than one question, but you get the gist. Just in case you're interested, the opening ceremony will be Sept. 6th. I, for one, will be watching.
