Now, what are we watching?

Anybody else feel that The Commonwealth Games has been spoiled for the spectator by mixing up events for disabled competitors with the ordinary events.  Perhaps it's a matter of better information but, for example, I was watching a 100m race where the commentators were getting really excited about what I saw as a somewhat mundane race run in a rather ordinary time.  It was some time before I realised that this was a race for para-athletes and had to be judged on that basis.  Better if the two competitions are kept separate in my opinion.
