I had no idea how the Paralympic Games came about, so this story was quite interesting to me. I think it's excellently written for it's audience: just enough information but not enough to bog them down. I also think it's a really good reminder for me, because I think it's very easy for me (and lots of society) to forget what it's like for those who are paraplegic or have other circumstances that make things difficult for them due to their body make-up.
