This is a lovely video, beautiful music (yes, what is it?), and all of these athletes and those competing at Beijing right now make me so proud of them and of the human spirit. They are very inspiring! The Paralympics should be on regular TV just like the Olympics.

Cuando veo este vídeo, le agradezco a Dios por cada parte de mi cuerpo, yo que no tengo ninguna discapacidad, veo a estas personas y no puedo describir como se siente porque no he pasado por ahí, pero les digo, solo falta ver esto para llenarse de inspiración.

amazing vid and gotta love these ppl, theres one thing im wondering, not to be offensive or anything but its just tat, every competitor has different disadvantages/advantages, so wouldnt that be hard to judge and all? =/

[videowildman]

Thats a good question. In each event, there are up to 13 levels of disability from blind and/or fully amputated, to no amputation, but other, less visible disabilities, like only one lung, or muscualr or skeletal disabilities. They never computer between levels, only within a level. Sometimes, however, you might see one race with three competitors, each from a different level. They are not competiting against each other's time, just the clock.
