No reason
Media if they where combined one would not be show on t.v which would most likely be the Paralympics. Don't forget all the replay media like to do of their country winning a sport game or races.
Venues they would have to find more places to have the sports as they use the same venues and some Paralympic sport are modified by court size and a few are just Paralympic sports. There are swimming and wheelchair basketball that are same as able body.
Accommodation and accessible requirement and space for equipment
history Paralympic come out of world war 2
in terms of total medal count yes, therefore i say china has won 2012 olympics ;)
i say no because both olympics and paralympics should get their own hype and with the schedule, it can be very hard, to put the fixtures together especially the location.
No, they are separate events. They can not be combined since both are too long by themselves.
They use the same facilities so the scheduling would be impossible.
No, they are just fine the way they are. The village would have to be twice as big, and most paralympians would not be able to reach the qualifying times that the Olympians have to.
No, that would be like men and women competing against each other, not that I'm comparing all women to handicap people.
Hi, for a a level that I am doing in school, I have to write a project, debating whether the Olympics and Paralympics should be combined? Do you have any opinions on this that I could use in my project?
Thanks for the help.
:)
