Although I have not been part of the Paralympic sporting world for long, I feel that people are too ready to confine any comment to the symbolic side of Paralympic competition. In the main, we hear only about the inspirational stories of people who have overcome obstacles and hardship to compete. I am not for one minute suggesting that it is not important to spread the word of these important accomplishments, but in no way should this negate applying normal standards of excellence and athletic performance to the competing athletes. Paralympic athletes need to be subject to the same exacting standards and constructive criticism as their able-bodied counterparts. I think this is particularly true because athletics is an individual sport and you are competing for yourself and against yourself. Your performance is entirely your responsibility, unlike the team sports where the one can always dissipate responsibility throughout the team.
