For whatever reason...the Paralympics always take a backseat the Olympics. However, if you think critically about this, it makes no sense. Wouldn't one rather watch someone with a physical disadvantage overcome what limitations have been imposed upon them and excel at their chosen sport. It is not that impressive when an able bodied person is good at something...why wouldn't they be. What is truly amazing is someone, who more than likely has been told they can't do something, ignores that rubbish advice and does it anyways, and does it at a professional level. Channel 4 in the UK agrees with us, and is presenting an unprecedented 150 hours of live coverage of the London 2012 Paralympic Games. If this promo doesn't make you want to watch, there is something wrong with you. FYI...song playing is Harder Than You Think by the incomparable Public Enemy.
