I want to tell you about the heroes of the Paralympic Games.The symbols of the Paralympic Games are red, blue and green hemispheres. They symbolize intellect, body and unbroken spirit. Paralympian
is a person who defies the destiny. The Paralympic Games have been
taken place on the same stadiums as the Olympic Games since 1988. Many
of us could see these heroic athletes on the Paralympic Games in London
this summer. But not everybody knows the history of their lives. One of them is Alexey Kuznetsov. When he was 5 years old he fell out of the balcony and broke his backbone. He could move only using the wheelchair. When he was studying at university he went in for sport. He started to win all local and country competitions in throwing kernel, javelin and disk . As a result he joined the national team. Alexey
became the world's champion in 2009 and silver prize-winner in the
Olympic Games, 2012. Nowadays he continues training and also he is
preparing to get the second higher education. He is a real «big» person. Do you know that the average number of disabled people is near 10% of the population? These games give an opportunity to watch these courageous people. Also it is the way to pay attention
to the problems of the disabled people: such as the absence of
elementary living conditions and chances for the professional
development. The success of disabled people can help us to reduce the
number of abandonments of infants, who have some problems with their
health. Thanks to the Paralympic Games we hope that there will be more
nuclear and happy families in the world. These examples of bravery help people not to despair and believe in the better future.
