Our para athletes show we can do it
10 years ago Italy was a nobody in athletics.
All of a sudden every Olympics they peak perfectly for the tournament and compete very well.
The elite nations control the doping agencies and allow their own to get all sorts of exemptions for treatments that would be illegal usually.

Then why non elite nation like Uzbekistan colombia kenya Morocco (dont have the whole list in mind) do go there?
Kenya and Morocco do well in mid-long distance running. It's in their blood, like wrestling is for us.

If I have to guess, it's because of the competition. The Paralympics has a lower threshold than the normal Olympics, so it is easier to win. I could be wrong.
