2016 Paralympics

First gold in the Cycling



Only took up cycling 3 years ago as well

^Lee Mckenzie asked her what she remembers about London 2012. As Megan suffered a stroke in 2013 which left her with memory loss (and other problems) i think the obvious answer is not a lot.

Gold for Dame Sarah Storey (her 12th!) and Silver for Crystal Lane in the same race!

Check out the story of paralympic table tennis player Ibrahim Hamato. It is quite astonishing .

They truly are amazing people. Putting aside what it was that led to them being a Paralympian (disability, accident etc), they also have to overcome injury due to the sport they're taking part in. Also, many of them suffer ill health and get told they have x months to live, to then overcome it and compete, amazing. People are spot on when they call them Superhumans.

I so agree with you Skully.
Just been watching a British gold and bronze in the mens 200m T42 class. Double leg amputees.
Truly amazing and inspirational viewing.

It's gold for Ellie Simmonds and a NEW WORLD RECORD as well. And it's gold as well for Sascha Kindred as well. Well done to both and congratulations

And it's another swimming gold for Susie Rogers . Bringing the gold medal tally for GB up to 28.

Have to say i have been watching the games and i am just amazed at the dedication shown by all of them,whether they win or not they are all SUPERHUMAN to me and should receive the same treatment as our able bodied athletes did when they return.

Wow Alex Zanardi wins Gold in hand cycling on the 15 year Annivesary of His IndyCar Crash that almost killed him
