Only in swimming and athletics have been imposed 275 new world records. Spain leaves with 42 medals, 16 fewer than in Beijing
The Paralympic Games returned home to London , where it first emerged, Stoke Mandeville Hospital, in 1948. And as a prodigal son was welcomed by all Londoners. Crowded all locations, at any time and at night to tuck their athletes, British or not. The curtain closed Quartodecimans Games yesterday, but the Paralympic flame continues to shine in every athlete. Phenomena on the track, with the generous effort. Every drop of sweat, every cry of rage, every cry of joy hide their disability, invisible in the results, overcome brands in demolished barriers. Elite athletes who are not satisfied with silver, gold always so elusive, and more in this quote Paralympic where the level has been higher than ever. Only in swimming and athletics have been imposed 275 new world records, shows unequivocally that have not been spared here nor energy has given nothing. Also the Spanish delegation has offered everything. And although it did not reach the bar for Beijing 2008 (58 medals), Spain brings in 42 metal suitcase he left in tenth place by number of medals and 17 golds by number (8, 18 silvers and 16 bronzes ). Positive data for a computer that veterans have pushed others. Bright were the performances of the incombustible Teresa Perales (one gold, three silver and two bronze), Sebastian "Chano" Rodriguez (two silver and one bronze) and Richard Oribe (silver and bronze). Among the three add 129 years and 52 metals in their careers. They, with all their experience, have been the example of those who are bound to happen, as Sarai Gascon (20 years, one silver and one bronze), Alfonso Cabello (18 years, gold and world record) and Michelle Alonso (18 years, gold and world record). Intended to give the necessary impetus to that in Rio 2016 , Spain recovered the splendor that harvested from the spirit of Barcelona 92. Toca reflect what has been done well and what still remains to be done. Alberto Jofre, technical director of the Spanish Paralympic Committee , warned in his final assessment: "Maybe we've gone to 120, but there are countries that have made it to 130 and you have to change that trend." Tighten the throttle to 2016, but still appreciate that medals have become more expensive than ever, but no power to activate. From today we look to the future, but looking askance at what they have been brilliant these 42 medals, special golds Teresa Perales, David Casinos, Carmen Herrera, Alfonso Cabello, Michelle Alonso, Alberto Suárez, Christian Venge and Jose Antonio Exposito . Swimming, as usual, was the breeding ground for most metals, but also shone in athletics and cycling. Basketball reappeared 16 years after their last participation to reap a fantastic Paralympic diploma for his fifth. Jose Antonio Exposito returned to his throne in the long 12 years after the last test for the intellectually disabled. Many good moments that leaves the album in 2012.
Sport, sport only
Even Jose Antonio Villanueva, Enrique Porto pilot in tandem, openly acknowledged that it had cost more brands reach to enter the Paralympics than in the Olympics. Even athletes who manage to break records in the pool dream without using legs were surprised they were able to make their own playmates. The magic of the effort and overcoming a word that makes no sense when it comes to them. In London alone there sport. Because only get the white matter in the target even if you do not have Matt Stutzman and arms. No one like him, and more than 4,000 athletes who fought in London in 2012 to show that disabilities are only in the eyes of others. In London, football is played only by the desire to score a goal, but not see the ball. It was the basket but collided with another chair and hit the floor. The bar is exceeded one-legged jumping. The ball was returned but the palette was tied to what's left arm. Point was achieved over a volleyball net on the waist because we are all just sitting high. The target was achieved but the pedals do not put their hands and feet. In London, he applauded the successes regardless of the shortcomings, invisible in the results. He admired the athlete for what he has overcome, and not just in life. In London, above all sport was assessed. In its purest.
