I watched a bit of the sledge hockey yesterday - very cool game!

I saw a documentary called Murderball once about cripples playing in these games and it's a lot more intense than I ever thought it would be.

Paralympic basketball medal winner Mike Schlappi spoke at the conference I'm at yesterday. Amazing guy -- I highly recommend checking him out.

I agree.

Talk about bravery... they have downhill skiing for the visually impaired. Yep, I would be way too scared to do that.

It's too bad there isn't more attention paid to the Paralympics because these athletes are awesome.

I fully respect the competition and it's not an insult but it always makes me think of this...

EllisEamos · **Posted:** Thu Mar 18, 2010 3:10 pm

it is a shame that too many people would rather laugh at this than respect it for what it is.

and i'm not talking about the curling pants.

I can't believe Japan beat Canada in sledge hockey :shock:

Cheering for Japan to win gold, and our boys to take the Bronze now

Holy crap, I didn't realize that.

"Canada would beat us if we played them 1,000 times, we're going to lose 999,'' said Japanese head coach Kojin Nakakita. "But not this one.'' :lol:

USA-Japan final.

Maybe the US can manage one hockey gold?

Yep, cause people with missing limbs don't need more strength and determination to succeed.
