Probably a pipe dream but I would have liked to see the UK step in and host them consecutively when the situation became clear in Brazil. We probably don't have the facilities there anymore though.

In financial terms though the situation in Brazil was very different back in 2009 wasn't it ? at the time of the award Brazil was recovering from recession .Either way what's done is done and i think the Paralympics need a financial rescue package or it could be said that the rest of the world aren't bothered about the Paralympics either .
