This year is the first time I've watched the Olympic games, and I absolutely loved watching judo. Imagine my thrill when I found out judo will also be featured in the Paralympics!

Anybody else planning to watch the Paralympics? If so, what sport? I am a bit curious about "blind football" and "wheelchair basketball" (as titled in my language), so I might give those a try as well.

Wheelchair basketball is probably the most exciting sport I have ever had the pleasure of watching live. Definitely tune in for that.

Those athletes move up and down the court in a CHAIR 2 or 3 times as fast as I could at a full sprint.
