Paralympics

[AnonyMouse_3139]

I've been trying to find pictures from this years Paralympics to display at playgroup, not to point out 'that man has one arm' or ' that lady cant see', just positive images of people competeing and being awarded medals. I've looked in the newspapers, Express, Times, Independent, Sun, Mirror, Daily Mail....Nothing! No-one is reporting them. Eighteen pages on sport in the Express on Sunday, with 1 small paragraph about the cyclists. My 14 year old son found it shocking and unbelievable, and I agree. I'm now going to email the newspapers and tell them what I think. (moan over)

Here's a link to the BBC sports page BBC Sport that has a photo gallery of the paralympics in Athens.

 

There is a nice photo of the wheelchair tennis, maybe others if you have a little more time than me to go through them all.

 

Hope this helps

Thanks Sue, I'll have a look, but newspapers save my ink!

I was really pleased to see that the BBC had extended it's coverage of this this year. We don't get newspapers as I do everything online nowadays and tend to print everything from the internet but it is heavy on ink. We refill ours nowadays which makes it a lot cheaper.
