This
article is about the Paralympics and Olympics and how as the Olympics comes
before the Paralympics, the excitement and media coverage suddenly drops after
the Olympics are over and the Paralympics start. It discusses the idea of
putting Paralympic event integrated into the Olympic schedule so that the
paralympians get the attention, media coverage and admiration that they
deserve. It also briefly talks about bringing paralympians into the Olympics
such as athletics or swimming, as after all they have to work a lot harder and
some could compete at the level of able body athletes. Although it mainly
focuses on that they do not get enough attention it goes on to say, as it was
written just after the Olympics had finished and the Paralympics due to start, that
the Paralympic tickets are meant to be sold out, which does show that the
support for the Paralympics has come up greatly compared to former Paralympics.
