Ask yourself how many Paralympians would get into the Olympics if they were able-bodied? Only a small handful. In fact, some scientists say technology with false feet etc is now some advanced that some disabled athletes are at no disadvantage at all compared to able-bodied athletes in certain sports. That explains why some Paralympians have competed in the Olympics. |

Furthermore; if an able-bodied person/athlete was in an accident and became disabled, could THEY then go on to compete? I'd say no. Just like you said no vice versa.

This goes to show the standard of the Olympics really, if (probably) the best Paralympian only managed 16th in an Olympic event. And I find the claim that "any able-bodied athlete" can train to Olympic standard to be silly, really. Although I applaud Kenny for his successes, and the other Paralympians, I think that it'd reek of PC if he won Sports Personality of the Year. |

The very fact someone disabled made it 16th in the Olympics is a huge effort. |
