Title: Paralympics
Post by: burn2live on September 09, 2008, 05:39:17 PM

I know the whole powerlifting and the olympics discussion has been done to death, but I just saw today that powerlifting is a paralympic sport. This is something I didn't know before and I think brings something different to the table. Why is it in the paralympics and not the olympics?

weightlifting takes 4 limbs C and J and Snatch

They can just strap paraplegics to a bench and they can still bench etc
