The para part of Paralympics is short for parallel.

I find those athletes so inspirational. I don't think I could ever be that dedicated to anything.

I'm really enjoying the integrated games in the commonwealth games, it's really good to see all world class athletes competing together.

Every day is a school day, I didn't know that either.

I guess if they are integrated they aren't parallel any more though!

I've loved the integration of the games also, able bodied events then 'para' immediately after just sets a completely different tone.

Mind I watched the 100m final for partially paralysed bros last night and it must be a nightmare classifying disability. Even in the final there were very clearly massive differences in ability between the finalists. I wouldn't like to do it.
