Paralympics Finishes Tomorrow......

[trt]

and I have really enjoyed the past 14 days, but even though Clare Balding has been good, I will be glad to hear the last of some of her OTT presenting.

I love Clare Balding, and I've loved the Games. I don't know what I'll do when it's finished.

I forgot to add, it was a tragedy for the Iranian cyclist that died in an accident, what a sad ending.

It was a bit confusing trying to work out each of the athlete disability's, as in the swimming, one had 2 arms, and another had only one, so it seemed a little bit unfair, but these people seem to know what to do.

[Cloverjo]

Very sad about the cyclist. What an awful thing to happen.

In the swimming, they seem to be classified so that their strengths and weaknesses balance out. So the person with with 2 arms might have weaker legs than the man with one arm. They are all quite amazing.

I agree. I don't watch it but in one of the adverts a runner was minus a hand. Couldn't help wondering how that affected her ability to run.

I hope Claire balding goes on a very long holiday !!!!!!!

[Cloverjo]

Naomi, I don't who the runner is, but I suppose if she's a sprinter it would affect her start when they lean on their fingers to come off the blocks.
