The Business of Paralympics

The business opportunities opened up by the Paralympic games. A sponsor explains the appeal and an athlete describes the impact that growing business interest has had on the games

London is preparing for the Paralympic Games that start next week. As the games become more popular, business is getting more interested. For the first time there is a sponsor doing only the Paralympics - and not supporting the Olympics. It's the British supermarket chain Sainsbury and its chief executive Justin King explains why.

Jane Jones of British Paralympic Association discusses the growing public interest.

And then there is change of gear as regular contributor James Srodes reflects on the famous, or perhaps infamous Delorean sports car.
