Russia's Sports Ministry has focused its efforts on stepping up its game for the country's disabled athletes.
After seeing Paralympic events in Vancouver I do feel that those athletes who compete in Paralympics deserve a lot more credit than they are given.

Kudos to Russia for supporting your Paralympics athletes.
