Well done to Team GB again standing second in the Paralympics medal table at the moment.

16 Golds
11 Silver
7 Bronze

I feel a little guilty for having enthused over the able bodied sportsmens abilities but having slightly missed this going on.

Way to go Team GB:D:D

I have been watching and it is fab to see the effort and reward these Olypians get from all this. Brill and keep up the good work GB.

Couldn't agree more, all credit to a fantastic performance.

The next time someone tells me to get on my bike I will treat it as a complement.

the stamina and performances are outstanding, the athletes put so much effort into their sports. i find it more fulfilling to watch them then the able bodied athletes

I worked with a girl who had a learning disability. She required a lot of assistance for daily living but managed to bring home a Gold for swimming. It is great to see them achieving in sport when they have problems in other areas. She was also a great skier, had scuba dived at Sharm on holiday with her parents and is a lovely singer.

I make the legs for one of the guys in the basketball team and for one of the sprinters
