I'm watching the Paralympics right now (NBC in the US).
I Googled around (can't believe I just said that) and it seems judo isn't included.
Only alpine skiing, biathlon, cross country skiing, sled hockey and wheelchair curling.

Sorry, I'm pretty ignorant and am wondering why the games are limited to thee 5 sports.
Does anyone know more? (and why no judo at these particular games?)

Judo is included in the summer games. These are the winter games.
Check out my book -- Judo Unleashed

Adversity does not cause a judoka to wither; it helps him or her to flourish.

Thank you.
Boy, that makes sense.
Funny how things seem so obvious once I know the answer. :)
Thank you, again.

One step at a time. Hopefully judo will become popular enough with other disabled athletes that they will ask their sports representatives to include judo.
