In this minisode, I discuss the Olympic options for disabled athletes and a little bit of the history of the Paralympics. I also discuss how the Olympics tend to get more coverage and viewership than the Paralympics and how we can bring the same energy to the Paralympics that we do to the Olympics to celebrate disabled athletes. The Paralympics start on August 24th!
