Backwards in wheelchair: down the stairs

I guess the way I look at it is we don't have separate Olympics for men and women. It is one Olympic event where men compete against men and women against women. I would have no problem with disabled people competing against other disabled people. I just think it would be really cool to bring in some of these disabled sports into the regular Olympics. It would give the athletes the same visibility, acknowledgement and sense of accomplishment that I think all amazing athletes deserve. I think the visibility could also help the general public see what amazing athletes disabled people can be. To me it seems odd to have it a separate event. Although maybe there are longer term plans to one day merge the two.

Ah, I see what you are saying now. One event, different competitions. That sounds very cool.
