Everyone’s talking about the Olympics, but the Paralympics are far more inspiring (Video)

More inspiring …

My goal, as an Amateur film-maker hoping to make it my career, is to make a video that's Chive-worthy

where will those games be held? and on what channel cause that would be cool to watch

Goosebumps! Goosebumps Everywhere..

I don't care who you are, this is inspiring.

Well done Channel 4 for this, going to be immense. More inspiring than the 'normal' olympics

I think one of the most amazing of these people is Oscar Pistorius who will compete in both the Olympics and the Paralympics.

Anyone know the name of the song?

4 years time we'll be seeing Taylor Morris on the paralympic podium I'd say

That video is amazing. Too bad it makes me feel like a lazy piece of crap for not being as awesome as those guys, and I am fortunate enough to still have all my limbs.

It's the London Paralympics 29th August – 9th September. On UK's channel 4. Make sure you see wheelchair rugby, it is insane. I take my hat off to all the paralympians.

that was pretty awesome

Awesome! They are the right people to rep USA

Olympics are cool, Paraolympics and Special Olympics are AWESOME!

No Excuses!

good for Channel 4, in Mexico nobody seems to care for the paralympics ever and there is no way to watch it … but thanks to the internet I'll find a way…

All the Chivers and Chivettes may already know this, but it was news to me a couple of weeks ago. The "Para" in paralympics doesn't refer to paralyzed or paraplegic or anything like that. It's from the root for parallel (beside, alongside), and refers to a competition held in parallel with the olympic games. I felt like a doofus for not knowing that, and thought some here (as the Chivers and Chivettes are higher quality people than most) might be interested. KCCO at both games!

Thanks again, Chive. You never cease to amaze.

You're damn right they're superhumans. I cannot wait to check out some of the Paralympics this year!

Watch out for Oscar Pistorius also known as "Blade Runner" who is a double amputee and who will also be competing with able bodied athletes in the Olympics. Truly inspirational…

I am a former Paralympian. This video really touched me. You will likely not see any TV coverage in the US but you can catch it on the internet here.
