Yes, but they need one to for they can't compete againest Usian Bolt. See my point.

Nope. They encourage individuals without disabilities to come and enjoy watching the events (or volunteer to help) . I volunteer most every year, and find it quite enjoyable.

No. They're "Special" for a reason. It's a noble enterprise, no need to infer foul play.

This is like asking, Why don't we have Olympics for able-bodied people who aren't exactly Olympic athletes? In other words, why don't we have an Olympics for the fat, slow, and nonathletic population? Dumb.

lol no. you're bored huh.

If they had several disabled people competing against one or more people who weren't disabled, what would be the point? I don't think the disabled ones would have a very fair chance. And if the not-disabled person competed, where would the sport be in that?
-
Yes. If disabled individuals are in a state in which they can compete up to a standard, they are allowed in the normal olympics. However the opposite is not allowed.
