Every Olympic athlete must overcome barriers just to reach the starting line. <\/strong>But Paralympic athletes face a few extra obstacles on their way to the world’s biggest competition. <\/p>\n Just to compete at the highest level, these athletes must obtain expensive, specialized equipment. That’s true for all athletes, of course, but there’s a difference of degree. When we review “super sneakers” here at GearJunkie, like the adidas Terrex Agravic Speed Ultra<\/a>, we acknowledge that not everyone can afford $220 just for a pair of top-notch running shoes. <\/p>\n But what if you needed to spend $10,000-15,000 just to keep up with your competitors? That’s the situation faced by many Paralympic athletes.<\/p>\n
