	Travis Mohr - Paralympic Athlete and International Paralympic Committee CEO Xavier Gonzalez
		Most Paralympic competitors are divided into functional categories within their respective sports, and athletes are evaluated based on their ability to perform skills required by the sports in which they compete, not the severity of their disabilities, paralleling the Olympic event separations by weight.
		Paralympic athletes will not have to pay for their participation for the first time, adding to the goal of amateur sport for all.
		Because it’s important that the Paralympics are included as part of the assessment of security threats, working with one organizing committee allows some issues to be addressed in a much better way.

	Sports Factor - 16/02/01: Paralympic Suspensions
		The International Paralympic Committee has suspended all athletes with an intellectual disability, as a result of the discovery that most of the Spanish basketball team - gold medallists at last year's Paralympics - were imposters.
		According to Marie Little, the International Paralympic Committee’s decision to suspend all intellectually disabled athletes is illogical and discriminatory.
		Amanda Smith: The International Paralympic Committee has attempted to justify their suspension decision by suggesting that the suspension has become necessary because it’s become evident that this issue of fraud isn’t just to do with the Spanish basketball team, but is a global issue to do with fraud in Paralympic sport.
