Well if that's what it's about then, yur right, able-bodied people shouldn't be allowed to compete.
BUt i thought that the Paralympics was about the best athletes in the world playing in sports that leveled the playing field. Sports where it doesn't matter if you have a disability or not. Certain sports where it literally doesn't matter if yur disabled or not, i think that would be much more impressive and really raise the Paralympics, If they allowed able-bodied people to compete aswell as long as it's a level playing field for all, shouldn't we all be trying to play together?
I think it's a much more beautiful concept to see disabled people and able-bodied people competing on an even playing field, together. I think that would be amazing. It would be beautiful.
