INCLUDE PARALYMPICS WITH THE OLYMPICS


INCLUDE PARALYMPICS WITH THE OLYMPICS

The London 2012 Olympics was a perfect exercise in national narcissism, as was Beijing before that, and Rio still to come. Nations now use the Olympics as a launch pad for all their ambitions to proclaim they are the mighty nation who can afford to hold (with corporate help of course) these great games. Every opening ceremony has to be more extravagant, more expensive, and more dramatic than the previous city’s opening ceremony. If it isn’t, the games are a failure from the very start. Then we have the closing ceremony, equally flamboyant, equally expensive and the circus moves on to the next city.

But what happens two weeks later? We have the opening ceremony for what is called the Paralympics. I haven’t yet figured out the ‘Para’ bit means. Is it Para-plegic, Para-normal, Para-lysed or Paria-lypmics.  Instead of the Olympics being inclusive of one and all sportspeople, it is exclusive for those who are physically challenged, the “Paras’. Here, the organizers are saying, you go off and have your games now that we have finished the real games. So there’s an opening and closing ceremony for the Paralympics thrown in to make it feel authentic.  

I believe the Olympics should be inclusive of all athletes, Paras or not. It may stretch the Olympics for another week but at least those excluded because of their handicaps will feel part of the full Olympic spirit. They can participate in every event, following on the non-challenged athletes in the disciplines of their sports. After the 100 metre final with Bolt winning in record time, the audience could watch the Paras also complete the 100 metre finals in their record time. So too with swimming, basketball, track and field. They would be seen and acknowledged by a global audience. Right now, once the Olympics are over, the world’s television cameras vanish back to their nations, the sports pages around the world may give the Paralympics a little space but, apart from the host nations boasting of winning more gold medals, the paras are relegated to the background.

In future Olympics, even if possible at Rio, the Paralympics should be included with the main Olympics to make those sportspeople feel that they are acknowledged and not treated as a different species of human beings.

  17. because i love you

    Delhi Escorts - I remember that day in bed when my ear was pressed against his chest; his heart beat was beating loudly in that perfect body of his and his vibrating voice echoed through. I could feel it too. I counted that he had 23 birthmarks on his stomach, tracing them with the tip of my fingers. We talked for a long time in that position, talked about life, music, love, our love, him, me, us, everything.

    We noticed that the sun had gone down and decided to grab something to eat. We raided the fridge, eating with our fingers in our underwear on the kitchen floor. He started playing on his acoustic guitar, his eyes shut, making that silly face. But suddenly, he stopped.

    He looked up, smiled at me and bent over to kiss me. I giggled. Then he let go of the guitar to sit closer to me so he could hug me. I asked him why he got so lovey dovey all of a sudden. He replied with another kiss and said because he loved me. I loved him too, very much, and I told him that.

    We stared into each others' eyes for a long time and I could feel the tears building up behind mine.

    ‘’You’ve never seen me cry have you?’’ I asked.

    ‘’No, and I hope that I never will.’’ He replied back with a serious voice.

    But he did.

    The salty water just came pouring down my face while he, confused, tried to wipe them away with his thumbs and kisses.

    ‘’Why are you crying?’’ He asked, almost crying himself.

    ‘’Because I love you.’’ I hated how desperate I sounded.

    ‘’But why are you crying then?’’

    I didn’t know how to tell him. Tell him that he was the only boy in the world that could make me feel so happy and sad at the same time, tell him how lost I feel when he’s not around, how jealous I get when I’m with him that I swear I could hurt somebody. Tell him that I’m so in love with him and the love we shared, so happy that he was the one I woke up to everyday, even though he snores fucking loud sometime. Tell him that when he talks my whole body shivers, how when he kisses me I forget to breath sometimes, how I feel like a little girl when he puts my hair behind my ears, even though I hate how I look with my hair like that. I didn’t know how to tell him that I didn’t understand why he loved me. So I simply replied:
    ‘’Because I love you.’’
