My Athletic Cousin.
For the sake of this teaser please pretend there is still a draft.
My athletic cousin was drafted into the army at eighteen. When he returned home from the army at twenty-three he had lost his leg. Yet he was still able to compete in the next Olympics. How is this possible?

Very Easy Teaser.
this was easy next time ad a trick and make it a little harder
If I wasn't handicapped myself,
this could've been a tiny bit tougher.
this could've been a tiny bit tougher.
BIT EZ BUT FUN
actually, he could easily have participated in the "regular" Olympics. many Olympic sports could be completed by a person missing a limb. Shooting, bobsled, curling, I'm sure there are others. Difficult maybe, but not impossible.
Easy One But Good for a warm up!
Easy but fun.
coolie
sweet teaser cool
Hehehe it was fun. I like it. It wasn't very hard but I liked it anyway!
i thought it was that he had lost his leg of a relay race he was running, but his team still qualified. oh well.
I thot wheel chair olympics
Very easy!!! i got it straight away!!! but good one!!!
i didn't know they had that kind of olympics
Does it count if I guessed Special Olympics?
u guessed right if u said special olympics, but in our politicaly corect world im not allowed to say that so they changed the answer
good cuz i geuessed Special Olympics lol
Me too!
The Special Olympics and the Paralympics are two totally different things. The Special Olympics are for mentally disabled people, and the Paralympics are for physically disabled people. So actually, Special Olympics isn't a correct answer.
Is it just me or is the answer a bit obvious. Nice to warm up with though.
easy
I thought it was the Special Olympics. I didnt know there was a Para Olympics Shame on me.
too easy, what else would u run with?!??!?!
Completely logical, I get it, but somehow, it's still a bad riddle. Try harder next time.
Should be trivia because no real trick, more about knowing about the paralymix
Spring for leg
