International Paralympics coverage


Excellent coverage over at Media dis n dat , leaving me free to blog about other topics....thanks, Beth! She wrote about a swim suit controversy with Australian Peter Leek, who got a dressing down for wearing a Phelps-like suit after winning his race.

There was an unfortunate crash in the women's 5000 m race that sent two racers to the hospital. Six out of 11 racers crashed. A video can be seen here or below. An article can be found here.

The race will be rerun Friday after results were protested by three countries - after a gold medal ceremony was held awarding Diane Roy of Canada the medal. She will race for the gold again.

Oscar Pistorius, shown at left, celebrates his gold medal win.
