Everybody should be watching the Paralympics because
• blind soccer
• sitting volleyball
• wheelchair tennis and badminton
• para archery using feet
• para swimming that includes athletes missing 2+ limbs
…And more!!
You can’t tell me that shit isn’t at least as impressive as the able-bodied Olympics like c’mon!

Olympic swimming is pretty cut and dry (heh), simple races like those on the track, but para swimming is endlessly fascinating bc even within each classification, each swimmer has a different technique depending on their level of disability. Like all Olympic-level back strokes look the same to me, but if a Paralympian has one arm, then they have to compensate differently than another who has one leg. Like I just watched a woman with one arm and one leg win gold in the S6 400m freestyle, staying several body-lengths ahead of everyone else who had both sets of limbs for nearly all 8 laps 🤯🤯🤯 Also, I’m pretty sure all double-arm-amputee swimmers are just fucking merpeople lol like leagues faster than other swimmers and they rarely come up for a breath!

Spanish swimmer Javier Torres sets off at the start of the 200m freestyle heats at the 2004 Paralympic Games in Athens, Greece, September 2004. Torres went on to come sixth in the 200m freestyle finals but earned a silver medal in the 150m individual medley and a bronze in the 4x50m medley relay.Swimming has been a core sport in the Paralympics since the first Games in 1960. The competition follows standard international rules, with adaptations to accommodate athletes with various disabilities. For instance, athletes may start races from the platform, while sitting, or from within the water. However, no prostheses or assistive devices are permitted during the race.This image by Bob Martin (@bobmartinphotography), @sportsillustrated, was awarded in the 2005 World Press Photo Contest.
