Beijing 2008 amazed millions of people around the world and it was a very impressive China Show. I enjoyed the games on TV with big enthusiasm as athletes performed to push the limits.
Short after the Beijing 2008 Games, the Paralympic Games started in Beijing and I found myself stuck on TV during the games.
I had very intensive emotional moments while watching these challenged athletes admirably. I found it to be more "human-base".
As The New York Times quoted "Is He Disabled or Too-Abled" referring to Oscar Pistorius, the amputee sprinter. These great people really proved that they are "Too-Abled".
Here are some selected links to have a better understanding of these highly motivated special people who have great ambitious:
