You know, there appears to be more support for the London Paralympics than the Olympics in Sydney. When we looked around at the stadium during the athletics at Sydney, there were so many empty seats. Doesn't appear to be the case in London. Awesome. Hannah Cockcroft in the 200m wheelchair track. Unbelievable.  . |

Shiyun PAN, China, OMG, Mens' 400m Freestyle Swimming. He led most of the way. Would have won the 100m, scored a silver. He has one arm. Nearly lost my voice screaming.  Really? And hes not even Oztralian! Still, like you, I am Delightfully Amazed when one armed dudes beat a mostly two armed field.  |

SHIYUN PAN wins 100m Gold! Waahh, I thought you were a bit confusled. Oztralian 2nd. As I said: 'Shiyun PAN, China, OMG, Mens' 400m Freestyle Swimming. He led most of the way. Would have won the 100m, scored a silver.' Couldn't find a pic of him with the silver medal and I didn't see him win the 100m. |

[PLite giggles.]  BUT, I just realized ... HOW CAN HE DO THE BACKSTROKE IF HE'S GOT NO ARMS? Edit. Just found this! AND HE SWIMS LIKE AN ELECTRIC EEL! Really, after that, people have no business complaining about anything! |
