Anybody watching ?
Anyone amazed at some of the competitors overcoming their problems, and some others wonder what their disability really is ?

Ive watched a lot of it. I was hooked after watching Richard Whitehead back in 2012 winning the 200 metres
At 50 metres, he's miles behind. At 100 metres he's almost last. Then he just powers past everyone to break the world record.
That race bought me to tears.
