Some of the sports like wheel chair basket ball are actually pretty hardcore and better than the normal version IMO. But I don't agree with a lot of the categories, like the 'intellectual impairments' one. Since the olympics (whether the regular or para) should be about the best athletes in the world. If someone with an intellectual impairment was really good, there is no reason they couldn't compete in the regular olympics. But they aren't physically good enough.

Of course there is nothing wrong with trying giving people a sense of self worth and achievement, but doing it this way just ends up demeaning everyone else taking part.
