Paralympic 2008

The paralympic games are a multi sport event for athletes with physical, mental and sensorial disabilities. It is always held the same year as the Olympic games and at the same venue.

Sis 1 says - Singaporean, Laurentia Tan, born with celebral palsy and deafness won the 1st and 2nd paralympic bronze medals in an Equestrian event. Cool huh!! To be able to ride a horse and participate in a major competition despite her disabilities!! We must not underestimate the human strength to overcome the odds and face adversities with sheer determination and resilience.
