3 Climbers Perish While Scaling Mt. Everest; 2 Still Missing
Members Of Congress Speak Like High School Sophomores
It's Paralympics time, and if you haven't caugh the fever yet it's time to. Especially because the world's finest paralympic athletes will be convening in Manchester, England over the next week. And when you think glamour (or about heavy early '90s drug use and expensive football teams,) you think Manchester, England.
Slagging on the host city wouldn't do justice to the Paralympics and the creative and sometimes wildly entertaining ways sports translate into wheelchair athletics. The clip of fencing above should cure you, if this was a problem before, of ever laughing at someone in a wheelchair with a rapier. We used to laugh at the idea of fictional wheelchair assassins--it now seems so plausible to us.
In today's action, Canada looks to defend their championship title against upstart Australia in men's wheelchair basketball. If Australia pulls off the upset, then Australia may claim the unique position of simultaneously holding the men's World Cup cricket title snd the men's Paralympic basketball title. All of this will likely equal a day off drinking beer, which we wholeheartedly support at anytime possible.
Paralympic Athletes Will Cut You Without Leaving This Wheelchair.
