I have a hard time with the PO Like oscar p. who partipated in both reg olympic and paraolympics. if he can do regular o. he should not be allowed to do PO. 
why did they permit that? 


 
Thanks,

I have a child with Down syndrome and cp. it is my understanding that it is the para Olympians who are pushing the division between cognitive disability and physical.  Did either of you ever try participating in para Olympics?
