Paralympic Fans

 

The highly anticipated 2008 Beijing Paralympics officially started (September 6, 2008). Two websites will have live action: http://www.universalsports.com and www.ParalympicSport.TV

             

Some schedules posted are Beijing time. Easy math…they’re 12 hours ahead of us (Eastern Standard Time)

If you’re interested in watching the Paralympic Opening Ceremony…go to the below link… I recommend fast forwarding to either the 20:00 or 25:00 minute mark. The 3.5 hour opening had China’s signature firework show along with an entertaining theatrical performance. USA introduction was at the 1:24:00 mark and the breathtaking closing was around the 2:00:00 mark. If you enjoyed the Olympic opening ceremony, you’ll really be entertained in the final 1.5 hours.
