In Britain alone, there are 7 million disabled people of working age - representing 20% of the workforce.
There are 10 million disabled people in total - 5 million of pensionable age.
It's not very difficult to 'find these people'...

The poorer countries are bound to be excluded because a lot of the para stuff depends on having fabulous false legs or swish wheelchairs.
I am all for people having a go, but it seems very unfair.
I wonder why they dont have a "crap at sport" Olympics, where those who like pies and fags can happily crash into the hurdles, gently trot in the races, and be cheered for it. ( I suppose walking the marathon is pretty much the same)
