Have you guys in the US been able to see any of it?

Don't know for them but certainly not here... No big deal as I wouldn't watch it anyway as I have no interest in this at all. Sure they are probably good athletes, but not my cup of tea...

Not even your own wheelchair basketball team? They played some incredible basketball and thoroughly deserved their gold medal.
The one big plus of Channel 4 having it was the programme "The Last Leg" as I couldn't see the BBC ever doing anything so irreverent. But it seems to have been a great success, especially with the athletes.

And that Ellie swim was awesome, but this has to be the moment of the Games for me:

Didn't even know we had one...

Too be honest except for André Viger (he was a star here in the eighties who got l'Ordre national du Québec in 1987 and l'Ordre du Canada en 1989) and Chantal Petitclerc who were two champions French Canadians wheelchair marathoners none of those athletes are really known here.
