Actually the success of the British simple: you have just carried on.After the first big sports party, the Olympic Games, was more celebrated in London. And there was much to celebrate, as the Paralympics took place this year on a much larger scale than was the case in the past. From an edge event to the Paralympics had become common in the public eye, so was the "second Olympics", the "true London Games," or "Summer Madness". ". Londoners have given us all the way the feeling that the Paralympics were the second Olympic And not in the order, but next to each other," said Friedhelm Julius Beucher, President of the German Disabled Sports Association (DBS): "The title 'Summer Fairytale 'is already occupied, but then this was the' Summer Madness. " Be it that, statistically the greatest games in history would was already clear. A record number of participants (4,200 athletes from 166 countries), a record number of audience worldwide (2.7 million) and record-transmission times. In addition, many athletes, officials and politicians spoke well of the best Paralympic Games in history. Many Britons who had received tickets for the Olympics not guaranteed, without further ado that for the Paralympics. Thus the world of games for disabled athletes were "the real Games of London" as the rider Natasha Baker said."Smiles in the subway at any one," stated Oscar Pistorius. The South African Olympian and was one of the great stars of the Games.Although the 25-year-old athlete with the exception of rank two over 200 meters and fourth in the 100 meters at first proved to be beatable. The grand final over 400 meters but he left with a spectacular world record . Also, the former Formula 1 driver Alex Zanardi, who lost eleven years ago with his terrible accident at the Lausitzring both legs convinced, not only as an athlete but also charismatic performance. Twice the Italian won gold with the hand bike , not just the three-time Formula 1 world champion Niki Lauda found himself "moved to tears" in the stands. Unforgettable is also the appearance of the Brazilian Yohansson Nascimento, who crashed in his race in the 100 meters by 30 meters, and then suffering a pedestrian dragged to the finish, where he was immediately broke down and sad down with a wheelchair from the stadium. Hassani Ahamadi Djae seemed to have thought, "If I'm already times here, I want to show what I can do." The first and only starter of the Comoros ignored his disqualification after a false start and swam just below the giant applause from the spectators at the end of its trajectory. In view of such scenes DBS President Beucher responded to the question about the most moving moment of the game: "I would have given the sum of the emotions out with the horn of plenty."
Gold-training on the dog park, Twins win and losers consolation
The German team has its view, "cut off sensational" and achieved more, "as it is the greatest optimists had dreamed." 18 gold medals, four more than in Beijing in 2008, which provide 26-22-silver and bronze medals that the overall result from China surpassed (14/25/20). The expected place in the top ten in the medal table, the German team has achieved. While also produced heroes. For example, the hand cyclists Hans-Peter Durst, three weeks after his bike accident with a sewn back thumb and three fractures in his arm despite hellish pain won silver in the time trial ."That was actually a small thing. We all have a handicap. And this time I had just a bit more than I otherwise", Durst accounted dry. Also impressive is the shot put and javelin gold by Birgit Kober, who sits in a wheelchair after a medical error - and exercising on a dog park. Jochen Wollmert would actually have to draw the ire of the London audience - he had in the table tennis final defeated the British Will Bayley . However, his consolation for the losers cowering on the ground also Wollmert was celebrated and even now proposed for a Fair Play Award. The Brussig twins Carmen and Ramona, in intervals of 15 minutes won gold in judo or Heinrich Popow of the mind games of his German rival Wojtek Czyz ignored and 100-meter gold fetched delivered, great moments of these Games. The biggest winner, however, was probably the disability sport in itself. So far, he disappeared into the Paralympics almost completely out of the picture, but from these games is likely to remain much. "Athletes who accomplished without arms, legs or brain damage with incredible performances have changed the reputation of people with disabilities. Britain is now a better, happier and more self-confident country," wrote the British newspaper "The Independent".
