7. Explain why our New Zealand Paralympians are amazing people. 

→They are more than amazing. They are extraordinary because even though they have disabilities they represent their country proudly. I would be very scared if I was you. They show how amazing they are at the sport and put so much effort into it.  I am super proud that they are a part of New Zealand and wouldn't change it. Even the people that are not a part of the paralympians or any sports are still astonishing like them.
