Disabled sportsmen's records
#1
Marathon with amputated thigh
Tatiana Kuznetova had an accident twenty years ago. Her leg was amputated. She had been staying in hospitals for years. Summer In 1991, at the International Moscow Marathon, she came directly from the hospital. She ran 10 km. This act shocked Dick Trawm, president of the New York Club for Disabled. He invited her to the New York Marathon. She ran there 25 km in only 9 hours. She became the first lady that ran a marathon with the amputed leg.

A team of blind gymnasts participated in a gymnastics championship, carried out in USA. A blind girl won 9 medals.

On Elbrus - but no legs...
A Finnish sportsman, who lost his legs, managed to climb up a height of 4,250 meters on Elbrus. Besides these performances, the sportsman was a doctor in science, he had written 8 books and 100 science researches.

I just want to encourage disabled people and want to let you know that you can do a lot of things. Be permanently in shape, practice sports, you can do it. Confuseduper

Big respect for these sportsmen. I would like everybody to take example from these people and never give up. Disabled doesn't mean you are unable.

It's all about incentive. Disabled sportsmen are not motivated, because there are very few championships organized for them. Very little money is invested for helping their sport activity improve.

Disabled sportsmen, taken together, are a power. Here is a website for those who wish to join and protect their rights

If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is "Probably because of something you did."
