We're back with a new edition of the Paralympics. This time it's the summer games ...... With the prize win with the photos of Turin I paid the trip to China. Then live here does not cost much and I can afford it.

This time it is not 5 sports. This is a twenty different sports for which follow the whole becomes impossible. You must make a selection. But to follow the opening cerimony at the Nest in front of 92,000 spectators is trembling legs. How to stay the field during athletics (stage always full - even on Tuesday morning - 85,000 people).
Anyone who thinks that this is a sport without contact or without racing should see a game of basketball or rugby. It should, however, see also the related mutual respect that is shown by athletes before and after competition (when it comes to rivals - enemies never - before or after colleagues). Here it is not contested "that the costume has advantages nell'attrito the water." Here the differences are in the counting of the legs or arms or how many diopters you have.

The city responds perfectly to the event. And passionate people in the queue for minor sports. And I am not referring to ping pong (play everywhere here), but in every venues: in weight or bow or goalball (this only sport in the Paralympics). The volunteers seem hired by the army. We sleep in the same stage of the mats just to be present. There is talk of 1,000,000 requests from volunteers themselves to be present and in fact you will find them everywhere. By bus for the press, on street corners that give information to those who work in the airport or in the subway.
