I’ve just been reading the Channel4 press release about their coverage and presenters for the Paralympics this year, and I have to say well done for pulling together such a broad range of top notch presenters, specialists and newcomers and for the amount of coverage that will be going on.

I have to admit that after the ill-fated Ortis Deley debacle at the World Championships last year (sorry Ortis, though I think putting you in such a prime coverage with no real experience first was a mistake Ch4 bosses should accept blame for) I was not very positive about Channel4 showing the Paralympics, but from the sounds of it its going to be great!

I also look forward to seeing how the LEXI symbol is going to be used to help us viewers understand the different paralympic classifications.  Should be an interesting and fun two weeks!
