The paralympics are underway in Beijing.
It seems our listeners are not concerned about how many medals Canadian athletes will win.
75 per cent of the respondents to a recent poll by Bayshore Broadcasting News said it is more important to just represent your country.
One person said too much emphasis is put on winning at all costs, rather than showcasing talents and demonstrating national pride.
Only 25 per cent said winning medals were more important.
As one person put it — if winning was not important than what would be the point of competing?
Canada won 18 medals at the Summer Games in Beijing — three gold, nine silver and six bronze.
There are three local Paralympians competing in Beijing — Jason Crone of Owen Sound, Josh Cassidy of Port Elgin and Chris Stoutenberg of Collingwood.
51 people responded to the two week survey.
