i'm all for paralympics and all but why have the paralympic events so overwhelmingly invaded the canadian nationals meet? isn't there a national paralympic type meet in canada?
Presumably Athletics Canada is following the Canadian Olympic Committee lead and devoting more attention to sports less of the rest of the world does (synchronised trampoline), thereby increasing the chances of winning medals at the big championships.
About a third of the funding cards AC gives out every year are for paralympic athletes despite the significant disparity in overall numbers of participants.
