I know that in terms of medals, Russia was the big winner: altogether, its athletes won 38 medals, 12 of them gold. Its closest rival, Germany, won 24.

As for the word loser, I think if you've made it as far as the Paralympics, you're still a winner, with or without a chunk of metal around your neck!

A full chart is below.

Any disabled person who is fit enough to play a sport is a winner in my book. :suicide:

No.  I missed that.  Excellent points are made that should not have to be.  

Thanks for the reminder.
