a cafe he made the first move. i saw him push all the chairs out of his way to get to where i was sitting with his first question was why are you looking at me and smiling i stared at him as i did not know what to say it was so immense we were. even though he's only twenty he's much more mature than the other guys is far above his. age in terms of intelligence and communication i'm proud of him but i see him on the news they rush to the t.v. and stand still in front of the screen i know it's my for dinner now they see each other once a month at most studying to become a teacher and lives a thousand miles away from his home town as soon as she graduates chill moved to live with so they'll be no more distance between them. over here guys that's why we're going to buy a st paul court is half the size of

people with disabilities. we knew each other for just a couple of weeks but it felt like we had known each other for a fairly long time that there really was good fortune this brought us together. was or the two of us are very much alike and all of us have this kind of the way we like to live. with it and we really don't bother each other until the. new variables are. very small you seem just the. last thing you want to reduce and i never had the feeling that we had just met and that i just came here when my friends asked me if i'd got used to my new life i say that i didn't have to get used to anything was. i simply found my place and would sell me. the schools when it finally dawned on me that this woman

was mine that's when i proposed to. you stephen and that's why we decided that will be really want to see a lawyer and before god wills and. divine power in action activate the sacraments. i am just this we need these we are under the control of those governing us before at the service of

a space mafia i found on that date the magnetic field of the sun realty. and it will create the support that the stuff. after the second coming it will be a futile place it will receive its glory it will be a renewed world and it will be a beautiful place. full of the best. little stuff just ammunition. it's good business for us it's kind of like being a doctor you know there's a disaster businesses. better unfortunately. wealthy british style. that's not right with.

before he turned seventeen it was no different to most boys he loves speed and was

keen on technology his passion for cars problems parents to give him a motorcycles a present. a road accident which iraq owes the survivor changed his life forever after both his legs were amputated it took him two years to start his life anew. because you have to carry on living despite the circumstances the most and of course you may vegetated home all the time but i'd rather set a goal and reach out for it. so what if i am disabled what big deal but i'm proud of who i am. ten years after the accident you did to those people became a four time champion of the vancouver paralympics he won four golds and won silver .

when he realized he had no legs he started smashing all the equipment in the room he was hysterical the next day came to visit him hell looked at me and i saw cheers flew down his face and he said he will now abandon me. that was the first thing he said we trust and we began fighting for the life i wanted to show him that we needed him so i told him you have your hands and your my legs and all that and we just only washroom good you need. first eric's parents were afraid to leave me at home alone and he was too shy to go outside he put on thirty five kilos. it took me two years to rethink my life i had to learn how to eat by myself to go to the bathroom at seventeen i was just like a little baby all over again when you know it was very hard to carry on every day i

had to improve but then little by little i learned to help my parents skip dinner meet them in the evening and so forth. when produce say he started doing his exercises he developed a diet of cottage cheese and saw his dishes well. sometimes i felt sorry for him and that a diligent about what he could tell us was there and refused to eat it you weightlifting swimming table tennis played every possible sport but speed was still is greatest passion after one year of training he became the champion of russia in wheelchair racing that very winter he began to ski for the first time. i love the atmosphere i had been staying at home all the time but then i came out and saw the people in the world when i began to win and attract attention it was addictive he trained every day even in the little time he had at home he barely had time to see

stanley. alone. i've missed just so much. let's play. just look it's very hard to stay without him especially when i see how the kids miss their dad our dota misses him the most recent chaney's her dad our son misses him too but he often tells him that he should stop training so much and come home. with his future wife dilemma before the car accident they were in the same group of friends as teenagers but they started going out after iraq returned from his first paralympics. i was

trying to convince him not to do it by told her there were many healthy men and that he would find his soulmate among the team members but she said she loved him i told her that if she hurt him she would have to deal with me. but she found that it was serious. he charged me with his positive energy and i wanted to talk to him more and more since i got somewhat addicted to him he's the kind of person who gets things done is never complained about life about being disabled just never sad life is over for him he simply lives and enjoys just like. their son i knew or was born two years before his triumph at the vancouver paralympics. their daughter was born after his victory we got yeah she's now two her brothers four unfortunately their father has not been there for any of

their birthday parties and one two three you. know my. butterfingers. then took a deep. and with you. it's hard for erik every time he asked to leave home but he understands that will be more difficult to defend his title at the two thousand and fourteen olympics. than it was to win it for the first time. so how did i do. you a fifth before you must come second to the semifinals of the world in the final. just. you'll be fighting for medals green. every year more young and strong contenders take part working out pushes the limit of human potential and can affect the health you know my shoulders are sore.

this year the right one has started leaking at the joint. that's been bothering me all season. recently eric has become interested not only in sports but also in political races a year ago he was elected deputy in the city council of his hometown i can't do sports forever but life goes on my sporting career will eventually end so i have to find something else. so i reached my peak in sports what i've achieved everything i could i go to the very top i become the world champion i won world cups and international competitions i no longer have a passion or desire now i think about my family and children. yes so are we going to the kid center all right let's go after the kindergarten institutions for disabled children frequently invite people. he knows how much money and effort is needed to make these kids normal members of society.

age of twenty marie over became a champion at the winter paralympic games in vancouver winning two golds and won silver in biathlon and cross-country skiing. so why do they give you. do you know why first place because you're the first.

since her first steps into sports taking her to all the training camps and competition the teacher became a mother to the girl even though she was only twenty then. you know beautiful am i to you. know i don't know why do you think. oh we're friends but we're really good friends. maria was lucky she was selected for the republic of commies national team maria has always stood out from the crowd she was a very active and sociable child but when serious training sessions began doctors strongly recommended that she should not get involved in professional sports she was born with no joints in her legs which leads to poor blood circulation so she

could suffer serious health issues we could examine her almost every day i took a temperature and if there was any increase would be carried out medical tests for the first million years we were training for results our goal was just to make a solid foundation. one year before then cobra paralympics the coach just started to increase training they worked out six days a week for eight hours at a time alexander worked with maria on the ski track while to work with her on shooting skills she was with the young athlete twenty four hours a day when she looked very bad i'm sorry let's go in ski come on come on. after maria of us triumph at the olympics the story of the champion who was raised in an orphanage became known in practically every russian household.

welcome russia's flight and joy may really be a lympics champion. when maria came back from canada there was a surprise waiting for her at home her biological mother wanted to see her. there is maria in. the course told journalists that she was the one who abandoned maria twenty years ago. with something it's my fault i was young and stupid when i don't know the mother and daughter had an on camera meeting. with. these look at me. these done she could hit it right you simply can't understand a person with bandits who child immediately after birth and then eighteen years

later as she turns up when he has practically become a star achieved everything she wanted on her and anything and she appeared outrageous. so the girl's grown up without she's never seen her. even though she's a biological mother i think it's inappropriate immoral to act this way if the rear was around ten years old maybe then she might have responded differently. after the olympics maria moved from the boarding school to an apartment of her own even though she cannot take care of herself that's why her closest friend is always with her. career has to win many more competitions turn her right participate in the twenty fourteen winter olympics. for the time being does not want to talk or meet with her biological mother. and discuss this new what do you love. do you love. news and i don't know who you know you are asking

me. in everyday life she may say she loves me even if i don't ask her about it she says i love you and goes away then we have does all these things herself at home we learn to embroider hanes go learn different things. play. them toys learn and. remember. murray overvote was born after the collapse of the soviet union in a new country more open to developing opportunities. but some challenges still remain. we have to be twice as strong as other people. it's hard for the disabled in russia we move forward little by little showing what we are capable of board it's good they've noticed our sporting achievements it all

started when we won and turin and in vancouver they realised that disabled people are reality. now era three is preparing for his third paralympic games he wants the winter olympics in sochi to crown the end of his sporting career and signal the start of a new life. when you come back daddy. darlings. you will have to prove many times that people with disabilities actually have unlimited abilities. they can build careers like everyone else have happy families and become world champions.

divine power in action activate the sacraments. i and he she says we need these we are under the control of those governing us before at the service of a space mafia. i found on that date the magnetic field of the sun will be for us to create to support the stuff. after the second coming it will be a beautiful place it will receive its glory it will be a renewed world and it will be a beautiful place. full of the best. will stop this

type of ammunition. it's good business for us it's kind of like being a doctor you know if there's a disaster businesses. better unfortunately.

the. blind rushes would be soon which brightened if you knew about sound from finest impressions. moves from stunts on t.v. don't come. from. a mission free accreditation free.
