Whenever the TV presenters are talking about the greatest Olympians ever - I always feel miffed that they don't mention Lee. He has won nine gold medals.
I do understand it is a different Olympics - but they are still Gold Medals,

I feel it's a little discriminating to not even mention his achievments, what do others think?
 
No, because they'll mention him in the Paralympics :S will you expect them to mention the gold medalists from the 'normal' Olympics in the Paralympics too??
 
Personally I developed a dislike for the guy several years ago when he competed at hartpury, parked his camper van at the back of the block of stables my horse was in blocking access, was very rude and arrogant to us lowly students :rolleyes: Plus he let his two yappy little dogs crap right in front of my tack locker and neither he or one of his entourage bothered to clear up after them :mad: :rolleyes:

But that was just my experience and yes I'm sure he'll get mentioned at the paralympics
 
Lee Pearson is not an Olympian. He has done well at the Paralympics, which is a completely separate event. How on earth is that discriminatory?
 
I think that the paralympics should be run during the Olympics, not seperately afterwards. They should be given a lot more respect and interest. A lot of them are truly amazing people.
