have already overtaken Team GB in golds won and are second in the table behind only China. As they have more than 21 times our population that's not surprising but we are beating even the Americans who have 5 times our population.

I have nothing but respect for them but I can't bring myself to watch it because it's so much worse if a Paralympian fallso over than an "able-bodied" Olympian.

?Haven't really been watching it to be honest but I think they have done unbelievably well - so much better than the able bodied team by comparison.
