"I request permanent reassignment to the Gallic frontier. Nay, I demand reassignment. Perhaps it is improper to say so, but I refuse to fight against the Greeks or Macedonians any more. Give my command to another, for I cannot, I will not, lead an army into battle against a civilized nation so long as the Gauls survive. I am not the young man I once was, but I swear before Jupiter Optimus Maximus that I shall see a world without Gauls before I take my final breath."
Senator Augustus Verginius
Good question.
But I think not. Having a fully abled person putting themselves in a wheelchair to win a medal just seems insulting, if not insultingly self-centered.
Also, there are lifestyle factors that make training for a wheelchair athlete much more difficult than for an able bodied athlete. I just don't think it would be fair.

Well in that case in the interests of fairness they should make men and women compete in the same events and not have separate races for each of the sexes. I don't understand why that is still allowed. After all, so much of the world these days is about enforcing equality that things like the Olympics fly in the face of it all. It is almost like admiting that there are actually differences between men and women...
