In the spirit of the Olympics going on now, here are some clips from the Paralympics in 2008!

Starting with a 100 meter dash by blind runners. They get partners who run with them, so it’s a challenge of teamwork too. Their running buddy can’t cross the finish line before them, but must also stay within a certain distance, so they’ve got to be about equally fit.

Then on to the 4X100 on wheels! Check out the guy who was going so fast he flipped himself over!
