This year is the first time I've watched the Olympic games, and I absolutely loved watching judo. Imagine my thrill when I found out judo will also be featured in the Paralympics!

Anybody else planning to watch the Paralympics? If so, what sport? I am a bit curious about "blind football" and "wheelchair basketball" (as titled in my language), so I might give those a try as well.

Wheelchair basketball is brutal - they slam around the court like charioteers. Really exciting.

Isn't the nickname 'murderball' is that wheelchair rugby?
