I hope I’m not too late posting about this but I just found out from Kuwaitiful’s blog that not only is Kuwait competing at the Paralympics but that since 1980 they’ve won 49 medals including 10 gold. Why did I just hear about this!
At the current Paralympics that’s taking place in London Kuwait has a total of six athletes competing. For more details check out Kuwaitiful’s post [Here]

Holy shit our paralympics team is WAY better than our olympics team! Why don’t they focus more on this that’s kinda sad 🙁

I agree! They should have tons more Paralympic Games coverage as it is just as important as the other Olympic Games! They’ve all worked just as hard to get there! You can view a few snapshots of Team Kuwait at the Paralympic Games opening ceremony here: https://www.grapevinekuwait.com/blog/kuwait-at-the-london-2012-paralympic-games-opening-ceremony.html Their perseverance is admirable! Best of luck to all the athletes! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Good luck to all our athletes
