00:00Having an event like the Paralympics, it definitely highlights and puts, you know, people's,
00:09what sometimes is perceived as a disability, it puts their abilities on stage, on the worldwide
00:14stage.
00:15And so it's nice to see people with differences, you know, celebrated in such a broad way.
00:22We already went to the Olympic Games, to the Stade de France, to see the athletics, and
00:29we had booked the tickets at the last minute.
00:31And now, what we're waiting for is for as many people as for the Olympic Games, because
00:36we find that the Paralympic athletes have even more merit than the athletes, well,
00:42the others too, but more.
00:43I'm going to be watching the ceremony, but also joining several other games, and cheer
00:48them up for their example as athletes, as people, so I'm very, very excited about,
00:57and I hope that it's going to be becoming more and more popular.
