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!😳
