Great photo - heroic effort!

I agree with it being a nice photo, but your use of the word heroic is incorrect.

I disagree. Heroic is used to describe showing bravery and being worthy of being look up to. The term fits here. The atheletes of the Parlympics are indeed heros.
As an aside, I am very pleased to see that the Paralympics are having such a great turnout in Brazil.

Spirited and powerful shot-putter. Very inspiring photo!

How is that showing bravery? What potential harm to his person is he facing? Is there a risk of death I'm not seeing?
backscratcher
The athletes of the Paralympics are definitely inspiring heros.

I do training like that, but usually on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
