Belgium is doing well on the Paralympics

Up to now, the athletes competing in the London Paralympics are doing more than fine. We've got 5 medals - 3 gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze.
I have a great admiration for these people, who despite their handicap are capable of such great prestations. Marieke Vervoort, who's suffering from a disease that will in the end kill her, won 2 medals in the wheelchair sprint, a silver one on the 200 meters, and the gold one on the 100 meters.
Another woman, who has a lame left leg, won two gold medals in the horseback riders competition. Just imagine, sitting on a horse with two good legs is diffictult enough (I know, I also ride), so figure how it goes with only one good leg!
And two mentally disabled youngsters won bronze in a game of goccia (a sort of petanque).
I only wish our 'normal' athletes would take a sample on courage and endurance displayed by their paralympic colleagues!
