Hello, Everyone.
I am enjoying the Olympic Games. On the first day of the 2012 games a South Korean Archer set a new record - by the way did I tell you he is legally blind! Way to represent the visually impaired people of the world.
The Olympics have included more and more people with disabilities each year.
I am looking forward to following a South African Runner who is a double Amputee. He is called the "Blade
runner" because of the type of artificial legs he uses. The Blade runner won second at the World games this year and is expected to be competitive in his event.

Does anyone know of an interesting story related to the Olympic Games? Tell us about your story.
Thanks.

There did used to be a shooting club for the blind based near the UK Parliament buildings, but I can't find anything more about it on the 'net'. The closest I can get is this . smile
