October 1st 2008 11:06
Over 4,200 athletes from 148 countries are taking part in the 2008 Paralympic Games in Beijing from September 6th to 17th. There are 20 sports taking place, each sport is divided into events as in the regular Olympics, but in addition each event is divided into a number of disability categories to even out the playing field.
Thanks to boston.com, here are some amazing images from the games. Many more photos can be seen here.
