Do you think the Paralympic Games should be run at the same time as the main Olympic Games?

Asked by Bellatrix (21307points) August 16th, 2012

I have been pondering on the Paralympic Games. To me the Paralympic Games are just as important as the Olympics but they seem to be less valued. I have some questions…

How prominently are the Paralympic Games broadcast and covered by media in your country in comparison to the Olympic Games?

Do you or will you watch the Paralympic Games with the same interest as the Olympic Games?

Do you think running the two Games simultaneously would raise the profile of the Paralympic Games? My thought is the events would run consecutively. First the Olympic athletes compete in the shot put, followed by the Paralympic athletes competing in their shot put event.

Any other thoughts about the way the two Games are handled/covered by media?
