GB winning against Japan in the Basketball
Going back to a mini-debate had during the real Olympics, is Pistorius' complaints proof he shouldn't be allowed to compete against able-bodied athletes?
interesting thought dj, ive always been a bit 'mmmmmmmm i dont know' about it myself.
If he thinks another athlete can get an advantage due to his blades then surely he gets one?
I always thought it was wrong, but not really because he had an advantage. But his comments make me think he does gain an advantage.

=======================================
I would say that was self-evident regardless of what he said. I would expect people on those blades to be running faster than able bodied runners over 400m soon, it is a big advantage.
Went to the paralympics yesterday, it was good. The high jump was amazing and when George Osborne got booed was hilarious.
Would have been better if I didn't have a hangover.

Quite an experience. I really like the Brazilian guy, tried to do high jump like they do in the olympics.

I think he finished 4th, I can't remember. They were all amazing though.
Also the long jumper who broke the world record like 4 times or whatever it was

Don't worry, I'll find it myself.

have there ever been any instances where someone has deliberately injured themselves, so that they can take part in the paralympics ?
