Its a bit sad that, after so much talk about what country got more medals in the Olympic games, no one speaks of the Paralympic games.
These athletes deserve, at least, the same respect than the others, and if we think of the extra effort they have to make to not only be athletes but
to live and work in places where they are considered second class citizens, then we see that they probably deserve even more respect.
But, apparently, what defines a great country is the fact that they have the best athletes, but only if those athletes look "normal".
