Let's break the word down in disability terms.Para as in  paraplegicLymp  as in limpIcs as in prosthet"ics".Whereas  Para-O -lympics sounds like cheerleaders running around, shouting "give  me an O". Reminiscent of CheeriOs.   It just doesn't work.This  could be the first controversy of the Paralympics.</blockquote>
