We can get so wrapped up in what the  competitors look like and their journeys to the start line that we forget about  the actual sporting event. It's still about getting from A to B faster than  anyone else, or  scoring more points than the other team. It's just that  your opponent might not have an arm, or a leg, or needs a wheelchair or  prosthetic limb to try to beat you.

Do you, then, try to forget about the  disability and just focus on the ability? This is impossible. There is a human  need to explain how these athletes can do what they do; how they overcome  physical and mental barriers to challenge for gold.
