Fox334 Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Quite a shame, it was always good publicity for the Paralympics. I wonder why BOGOC (spelling?) drooped the event... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China probably didn't have very good medal chances in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cfm Jeremie Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 China probably didn't have very good medal chances in them. It's a demonstration event in the Olympics so no medal to be won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympian2004 Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 China won the medal table in Athens Which medal table? The general one? In that one, they ranked only second! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympian2004 Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Oh sorry, you obviously meant the Paralympic medal table. That was a little confusing since we talked about an Olympic event (even if the wheelchair races were only demonstration events). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron-pierreIV Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 So if those wheelchair races are still demo sports in the regular Olympics, why aren't there be able-bodied demo sports in the Paralympics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
