Anyone else watching?
It's on cable NBC. The IOC now requires the Olympic host city to host the Paralympics following the Olympics. So it's in Sochi. (In 1980 Russian was asked to host the Paralympics and they said no because they had no handicapped people.) The Russian have 40 athletes participating this time.
It's amazing to watch these athletes.
Yeah, right...the Mujahadeen crippled many Russians, they just didn't want to have to parade them all before the world let alone their own people!
I'm impressed with how hard working and competetive these folks are, and I wish them all well and hope each performs as best they are able...I'm just a little Sochi'd out and the Rooskie meddling in Ukraine is amping that up even a bit more...don't mean to diss these fine athletes by not watching, it's just the way it is with me right now...
