Seeing as the people on the escapist are reasonably inteligent I thought this would be a good place to put my question.
Does a person who is disabled, when their disablitly has no impact on their capacity to perform their given sport, belong in the paralypics or the regular olympics. And for the sake of example (as this is what gave rise to the question in the forst place), should an archer with no legs belong in the olmpics/paralympics, given that it in no way impedes their ability to use a bow, save the possible minor changes in angle/height from which they fire. Taking into account that said minor change can easily be dealt with by letting them fire from a raised platform, or just doing nothing about the change and just putting it down to the way that person is.
And for my own opinion on the matter, I think that they should be in the regular olympics for the reasons that have been outlined.
