Russia is Ahead in Medal Counts at the 2010 Paralympics!
This widget will update as the medal counts changes…
When I was in the states years ago, I became a big sponsor of the Paralympics and also of the Special Olympics. I have had the pleasure to cook, organize and feed multiples of thousands of these Olympic contestants in my time. One of the most memorial times for me was the paralympics after the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta Georgia. Right Now the Paralympics is going on in Vancouver Canada…
The Paralympic Games are held every four years, following the Olympic Games, and are governed by the International Paralympic Committee (IPC). The Paralympic Games are sometimes confused with the Special Olympics World Games, which are only for people with intellectual disabilities. (Link)
I have always been impressed by the organizations but have always been dismayed by the lack of public attention that everyone gives to these two wonderful programs for disabled people.
I was shocked as I turned my attention to the Paralympics and saw that Russia has excelled in the medal counts so far…
Go Russia!
Windows to Russia!
PS: (Look at Ukraine also!)
