Whacked it on for a few minutes and they had the blind cycling on. Can I just ask why the non blind rider (the pilot) gets less credit? Surely she too is putting in the work to ride the 1000m sprint bike ride even if she can see properly.
I know on the graphics they mentioned it occasionally that there was a pilot but the commentators barely mentioned the second rider and the bit at the bottom only mentions the blind one. Seems unfair to me. Feel somewhat sorry for the ‘pilot’.

The pilot is just steering though, I think. The paralympian is the one putting the power in. So it's still their achievement if they win. |  |

But are there any alternatives Rommers?
Maybe train some guide dogs to lead the way? Or put them on tracks?
The Madison is going to be fun, that's for sure. |  |

Watched some of the swimming last night, including a womens' medley (400m I think), for those who only have use of 50% of their bodies.
Absolutely extraordinary and remarkable, both the speed they get through the water with, and the sheer inventiveness of their strokes. I could never go that fast even using 100% of my body - watching them is a very humbling experience. |  |
