You can't have been watching the swimming as all of the atheltes have varying disabilities, many of which are very visable.

And these athletes will achieve so much more than you and be so much more inspiring than than just coming onto a thread like this to make rude comments. Round of applause to you! Well done.

Well said guys.

I've thought seriously about deleting those type of comments, but I think it better that they should be left for the general public to see. They only lessen themselves.

Ncl, I don't think you understand disability sport, especially at that level.... athletes with disabilities train very hard and work very hard to overcome their limitations and swim in a striaght line.... some disabilities are also not that visable.... you obviously did not look that hard as many of the athletes disabilities are visable.... perhaps you should watch the sport more closely next time.

You may think i am being a bit harsh but as a competitive swimmer with Cerebral Palsy.... i think your comments... reflect that you do not understand what disability sport is about at that level... and what the swimmers (including myself) have to do to achieve what we achieve and how the swimmers overcome our disabilities to perform the way we do.

Disability sport at that level is not about 'entertainment' as Ncl put it, it is about the athletes proving what they are capable of regardless of the individuals disability.

Nice to see you on the thread disswimming. I don't think that there too many people who don't appreciate the effort disabled athletes put into their careers, be they sport or business.
But as you'd no doubt know first hand, there are those (thankfully in the minority) who wouldn't know their bum from their elbow.
While I agree that elite disabled sport is about athletes proving what they are capable of, it also has positive entertainment value.
Among other sports, I'm a huge fan of wheelie track racing.
