Turning Tragedy into Triumph

I have the utmost respect for disabled athletes. Not only are they phenomenal athletes in their own right, but the fact that they have had to overcome great adversity to get to where they are commends respect. I think that the vast majority of people would simply sulk and give-in to their handicap and use it as a crutch for the rest of their lives. These men and women, on the other hand, used their tragedy as an opportunity for excellence, representing their countries with the utmost dignity and pride. And for that, I salute them.

The top 5 countries in Torino were the Russian Federation (33 medals), Ukraine (25), Germany (18), France (15), and Austria (14) respectively.
