When the Olympics come to mind people just automatically think of the top sports with the top athletes. But what we shouldn’t forget is the Paralympics, for the disabled.
The Paralympics is a smaller and less crowded event with the top notch athletes who have disabilities. It previously just took place in Vancouver on March 12 to the 21st. This event is very much similar to the regular Olympic Games, it just features different athletes that have disabilities and can’t compete with the other athletes.
One of the events that they had was the 2010 Paralympics Torch relay. The ten day relay was very critical to Canadians because it gave them a chance to discover the inspiring stories about the Paralympics.
Lighting of the Paralympic Flame during a ceremony in Ottawa involves torchbearers who represent each province and territory.
