London 2012, the summer Olympics and showcase for the nation. Without doing any more than turning on the telly, a nation can feel a sense of national pride. Look what we can do. To top it off we win gold, silver and bronze in magnificent exertions.
Paralympics make the show of effort even more spectacular. The power of swimmers with no arms, runners with no lower legs and the triumph over adversity that goes beyond mere training for a sport. Heroes whose names are not widely known.
