Paralympics coming up (with some pics)

I know I probably shouldn't toot my own horn too much, but figure that enough of the folks around here don't even bother to read the news stories on the front pages of this site... Plus that I felt that the subjects of the story deserve a touch more 'air' time (if you couldn't already tell from reading the story).

An article I recently wrote: http://www.firsttracksonline.com/Ne...ki-Racers-Athletes-Challenge-Aspen-World-Cup/

And some additional pics I took while working on that story...

It seems clear that it will be a small handful at best with any interest, but here are two more links related to the Paralympics.

First a site that has a decent summary of the Paralympics.

and then where live 'TV' of the 2010 Paralymics will be shown (since most places will have little if any live coverage).

Of the Challenge Aspen folks profiled in the story, so far a Silver in DH by Mark Bathum in the visually impaired category, and a Silver in DH by Laurie Stephens in sit-sit category. Mark also came in Wooden Spoon place (4th) today in super G.
