Oh I completely agree life is not easy for people with disabilities. The difficulties to just live life, let alone participate in sports, are so much greater. I just meant that if you do, then there’s a smaller pool of people. Also at elite level pretty much all regular sports are body shape dependent not skills dependant to start with. Then if you have the lucky body shape genetics, you can work on skills. Probably part of why I’ve never really liked watching or participating in sport. Height categories in basketball would be a much more inclusive way of running the sport.
