Unless we have broadcasters, we wont have enough viewers,
unless we have viewers, we wont have enough para sports followers,
unless have enough para sports followers, we wont have enough para sport lover,
unless we have para sports lover, we wont have the potential growth in the Paralympic Movement.
it is likely that a country with a large population and a strong sporting culture will have the highest overall sports viewership, thus countries like India, China, US, with a high percentage of sports viewership, can play a major role in creating the awareness and building interest for Paralympic sports.
Additionally, IPC must put measures so that specialized subjects like classification could be made understandable to everyone watching the sport. Tools like LEXI (Giles Long) can prove to be a game changer if accepted and implemented strategically by IPC and globally.

Michael Phelps 2008 Olympic game performance is by far the one of the greatest achievement in sports ever, period. What very few people know are the number of challenges and obstacles he faced and tackled throughout that week...However, the reflection i am making here is not about swimming but the lessons one can extract from such endeavour.
First Gold Medal - Start with your right foot
400 IM - Set the right course from the beginning, conquers milestones build momentum and acknowledge that you are still far from your destination.
Second Gold Medal - Making the impossible.
4x100 Free -Greatness can be accomplish individually. Making history however, requires teams greatness driven by turning the goals of a particular one into group ones, thus unlocking individuals beyond their own limits.
Third Gold Medal - Aim for perfection.
200 Free - Hammer and refine your craft to deliver nothing but your absolute best.
Fourth Gold Medal - Prepare for the worst
200 Fly - Focus on the planning, leverage on past experience and never allow the surrounding circumstances determine the outcome, rule yourself.
Fifth Gold Medal - Breaking mental barriers
4x200 Free - Positive drives and high goals build upon each other, creating virtuoso cycles inside teams. When you deliver your best, you enable and empower those around you to do the same.
Sixth Gold Medal - Competition is there to keep pushing you, embrace it.
200 IM - It doesn't matter the number of times you have done something, you can always do it better.
Seventh Gold Medal - Ain't over till you touch the wall
100 Fly - You can be down and behind your competitors throughout the entire race, the only thing that matter is to out touch everyone else. Do not waste time looking to the sides, is what you do that puts you upfront.
Eighth Gold Medal - Bring it home.
4x100 IM - Even if you think things seems done, the devil is in the details.
It took 36 years, careful planning and constant correction, an extensive support team and full commitment from all parties to over perform Mark's Spitz Munich 72', how long will it take to see something like this repeating itself, not sure if we'll ever witness this level of greatness in sport in this life time. In the mean time i leave you with the Bowman-Phelps 8Th Symphony:
