Re: The Paralympics 2012 Thread
I'm out of my depth here.
I'm in awe of the athletes, and then feel completely a pathetic individual. Seeing them compete makes me weep tears. I think that there has been a lot of eye-opening throughout the build-up and coverage for me though. I struggle to get over my feeling of sadness for people who have risen above my comparative patheticness. My admiration is enormous. |

Catch-up coverage starts early, and then early evening on Ch4 as a' catch up'. A lot of coverage is aimed at people who work 9-5. If you can't watch it live then I'm sure it's going to be better than any daytime TV :) |

You're being very specific with your choice of coverage by Ch4. |

Yes they have done a tremendous job covering all the athletes and their back stories but unless the public can replay specific events that they have missed it's not going a real success for CH4. At least if I missed an Olympic event I could replay it on the BBC website. |

My family took me to the Excel centre to see Zoe Newson win a bronze in one of the women's powerlifting events. The gold medallist set a new world record.
We also watched judo, volleyball and table tennis. Brilliant atmosphere. |
