How can they do this..they have a contract....or don't they.

Well I guess they are keeping to the contract by holding the events....even if they are in someone;s backyard.

Lower ticket sales are to be expected in countries that do not have a good awareness of disabiliy and do not look at the things people with disabilities can do rather than the things they cannot.

Chinese Women's Volleyball Team Captures Gold in Surprise Victory

Good for them. Well done.

Back home, China erupted in joy, with the victory becoming one of the most talked about news items on Weibo. Meanwhile, the Shanghai Tower was lit up with a message in support of the team that read "The Spirit of the Chinese Women's Volleyball Team is Eternal" ("中国女排精神永恒").

Alex is a former F1 racer. In a car race in Germany he had an accident. He lost both legs below the knee. He's won a gold medal in the hand powered cycling.
