    Paralympics is the form in which the common people with disabilities can show unlimited abilities. Why can it be bad? Because they take place in Russia???

    In my opinion boycott of Paralympics games sounds very immoral for people with disabilities. Think about how difficult it is for them to practice every day, prepare for performance and not to go.

    Putin has already earned all the points which would at the last Olympics. Paralympics will not add or subtract. Today boycott can only cause a negative attitude to the organizers of the boycott.
