The Paralympics seem to be going quite well for Team GB with 80 medals so far. I have to say I really do marvel at some of the athletes given their disabilities.

    They are exceptional, one and all. The control that the equestrian riders have with their horses is truly remarkable. This emotional post race interview sums it all up for me.

    Same here, Rocky, not only do they never let us down, they never let themselves down either, they just set their own targets even higher ~~ utterly staggering !

    If there’s a huge legacy that came out of our London Olympics, then this is certainly one aspect. The Paralympic Games are now huge and mainstream, just as they should be.
