Sitting skier Muraoka wins Japan's 1st gold at Beijing Paralympics

You can't ski sitting down, it's called sledging. What's next, running a marathon in a car?

Shame on you dude. She’s done the best she can with one leg!

Whats next? Her beating you in a race sitting down.

Impressive skiing, Ms Momoka Muraoka. Congratulations! Best of luck to your fellow Japanese Olympics mates.

Why shame on me, it's nothing against her, it's great. But it shouldn't be called skiing, why not call it sledging?.

Congratulation Lady, more golds to come I hope,

Liu Sitong of China took bronze as the only other racer to complete the course, with four of the seven entrants either crashing or missing a gate.

How can an olympic event be allowed to take place with only 7 entrants.

Good to see a happy smile. Congratulations!

Yep she did awesome.

How awesome! Omedetou!
