They are great.

Re: Thursday 6 Sept - Paralypics

On UK tv they were as big as the Olympics. It helped that Claire Balding covered both events so kind of linked them together. They were so exciting, inspirational, and just good fun to watch. I dont know if they were better than previous years as I never really watched them before, but they did seem to be universally enjoyed!
