Rejected petition End the separation between Olympic and Paralympic Games. Make them equal.

Rio 2016 has shown us that the Paralympic Games are simply viewed by some as an afterthought to the regular Olympic Games. An athlete is an athlete no mater what their ability so long as they compete on an equal footing. The Games should no longer be Olympic/Paralympic, they should just be The Games
