They probably would be annihilated in competition.

Wouldn't it be possible for just one competition to provide a focal point, though? It might even be more of a focal point, inasmuch as that - like it or not - a lot of people do see the Paras as second-best. Full integration would quite possibly raise the profile.

TV. Didn't C4 do a show with able bodied versus paralympics athletes in Beijing?
