I would consider going to watch some of sports like wheelchair basket ball if I could find out where it takes place.A great effort from our athletes.

The presentation was excellent, concentrating on the sport. In particular I thought Nick Mullins' cycling commentary was (almost) as inspirational as the track events themselves. Well done.

I did not see a person with disabilities, I saw a person who was fighting for medals and their country. I really enjoyed watching the highlights and found them more enjoyable than the olympics. I also thought that the commentators were fantastic and never once refered to any of the athletes other than to praise their efforts. Good luck to all of them for the rest of their lives, they certainly desrve it.

Congratulations to them. We certainly seem to punch above our weight in the paralympics and should be aiming to challenge China more closely in London in 2012. The dedication, passion and skills of the teams and individuals taking part is amazing.
