How could anyone dislike this? My eyes teared up as I watched it. People with disabilities of any kind put in more effort and heart into what they do than a 100 healthy smartasses combined can do.

is being short a disability?

[@karenmorris2112]

Are you for real? She is not just “short”.. the condition is called achondroplasia which affects their joints and muscles too and yes it is a disability.. but either way these athletes are extremely talented ​@@southparkundersecretwisdom3230

weeman's wife is pretty good.

This is actually anti-sport. I respect all their efforts, but how can you compare a midget to one legged people, or how can you compare a one armed man to a man who lost a half of their arm?

[@southparkundersecretwisdom3230]

short limbs means you cant complete longer strides, also they have like joint problems too.

[@siliaplecar]

jealous much?
