The 2010 Winter Paralympic Games Are Almost Here

The 2010 Winter Olympics have ended, but there are still plenty of Olympians in Vancouver waiting for their chance to compete – the 2010 Winter Paralympic Games are set to begin on March 12.

Featuring Ice Sledge Hockey, Wheelchair Curling, Alpine Skiing, the Biathlon, and Cross-Country Skiing, the Winter Paralympics will have just as much competition, grit and drama as the Winter Olympics, and even more inspiration. Take the amount of time and commitment it takes to become an Olympian, and now multiply it by the guts and drive it takes to do so while also battling a disability and you’ve got the essence of a Paralympian.

Disabled World has an exhaustive selection of information about the Paralympics, and a ton of great news can be found at the official site for the 2010 Winter Paralympics.

Good luck to all the inspiring athletes!
