It may not seem to have the same buzz with you but the games, reading about the coverage and watching past WP events, I would say there's plenty of excitement and demand for it. The coverage is still there but seeing as the WP are usually much shorter (3 to 5 days) due to the considerably fewer athletes taking part, that it lingers less in the media air and it's over before you know it. Plus the events are mostly live and half the UK will be getting ready for bed but that doesn't mean to say that those whom wish to watch it, the buzz isn't there for them. Surprising you forgot though, I thought disabilities were on your radar?

Surprising you forgot though, I thought disabilities were on your radar? Again, you miss my point. General buzz was what I was referring to - promotion and hype - not my individual beliefs and preferences. The Summer Olympics/Paralympics and Winter Olympics are advertised and talked about non-stop, but you barely hear anything about the Winter Paralympics and you just end up forgetting its even on. It doesn't help that its on Channel 4 rather than BBC1 like the standard Olympics, but the Summer Paralympics gets a lot more excitement and buzz.
