Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

There's a relay swimming race in the Paralympics featuring 4 swimmets per team of various disabilities. It's a fantastic race to watch because each team chooses which order to swim with in. This means the teams progress at different rates and it's really exciting.

Don't think this has been posted, I did wonder whether or not they were all actually in Tokyo or not - really cool !

Thanks, that was interesting.

I knew they weren’t in Tokyo but I hadn’t realised just how little of the set was real.

Best of luck. I got to see a tiny bit of 2012 olympics and Paralympics live. They were both brilliant. The track and cycling are probably my favourites

She's in the 2 week holding camp at the moment in Newport, due to fly out Tuesday.
They do have a new track bike to get used to.

What events, Um? The tandem on the track can be brilliant - I remember watching some tandem match sprinting, and they tried to track stand!😳
