Movies and Paralympians

It's a healthy Games. We all have the same goal. We all want to win, but it's really great and awesome when a competitor comes up and hugs you at the end of a race.
~Jessica Long (USA, swimming)


I have been a fan of the Paralympics since I lived in Atlanta in the '90s. Actually, the year before the Olympics, we went to the National Veterans Wheelchair Games, which were also terrific. Events that are driven by pure love of sport are a joy to watch.

Find out more about the Paralympics in Rio here.

The first two videos show Paralympians talking about their favorite movies, and the third shows Paralympians surprising people at the gym/dojo. Charming and inspiring!

Wonderful videos. The first two show the non-athlete side of Brad and Tatyana. You really just see how charming they are...and how resilient.

The third is a hoot...well worth the viewing!
