Don't reflect your own prejudice and claim everybody is the same please.
Please don't mis-use the word prejudice. I am not pre-judging the Paralympics, I am judging them.
All I said is that clearly they level of sport isn't the same and ultimately this will be proven when comparing the viewing figures between the two events.
For me personally many parasports are considerably more exciting then those held at the Olympics (fencing for example)
Don't disagree, I find wheelchair basketball far more exciting to watch that regular basketball, but I was talking about "excitement" I was referring to watching 'world class' sport/achievement.
And i wouldn't go as far as to say the system was flawed, especially when neither me nor you have a clear understanding of all the disabilities involved and how it effects performance.
Well I probably have a better understanding given a personally know a Paralympic silver medallist who would have had gold but was 'upgraded' to a different category because there wasn't anyone else as good as her in hers.
But it's clearly flawed depending on the sport, for example one of the first swimming races I saw before work contained a man with no arms racing against a man with no legs at backstroke. Now in backstroke you start in the pool by kicking off the wall, so if you have no legs being able to push off well is nigh on impossible, the guy with no arms was given a helper to hold him in place but at the starting pistol he was let go and could use his legs to power himself off to a great start. He was about 8 metres in front of the guy with no legs within a few seconds simply because of this. After that, well I'd bet the extra muscle and mass in your legs would propel you better than only using your arms.
