Mind you, there's always the Tour de France. A real spectacle for the fans. Waiting for hours on end to see about 100 cyclists go past you in the blink of an eye.

Shhhhhhhh!.....the hurlings on.
One year I got a bike for my birthday. So I went peddling off down the road and knocked an old lady down.
'Can't you ring your bell?' She said. 'I can ring my bell,' I said 'But I can't ride my bike'

Swimmers are classified S1 through S10. S1 swimmers are effectively just a torso whilst S10 are the least impaired. You can race with people above your classification (so an S9 can race with S10 people) but not the other way round.
As there are only a handful of para-races it could be that an S9 backstroke race could have a few S8 and S7 people in it.
Big changes on the way ! We've heard it before but it's different this time !!!! , I believe Bdo gonna grow x

But as already said he might not have the use of his legs. If they are just there dragging behind him then that could be a disadvantage.Darth Randall wrote:the poor fucks with legs missing have no hope against a guy with two whatever the limitation he has.Ginge wrote:He will have limited use of limbs.Darth Randall wrote:fucked if i understand the para swimming stuff.

clearly they cant have races for one arm, one leg etc but it seems pretty fucked up.

Rimmers are classified S1 through S10. S1 rimmers are effectively just a spunk receptacle (i.e. not rimmers at all) whilst S10 are the least impaled. You can fellate people above your classification (so an S9 can perform fellatio on S10 people) but not the other way round.
As there is only a handjob at most para-races, it could be that an S9 bukkake party would need 7 or 8 people in it.

Haha some guy called Ortis Deley (think he presents shows aimed at children) got the gig for C4's athletics coverage in 2011 (lasted about 3 or 4 days before he was binned) and I believe he called Pistorius "The fastest man on no legs", alongside many other gaffes.Justin Credible wrote:this is why it is the spastics olympics.

Re: Random Sports Crap
read this in the new york times newspaper today. semi-interesting.
"Kasparov Is Soundly Defeated in Bid to Lead Chess Federation"
Garry Kasparov, the former world chess champion, rarely tasted defeat in his long playing career. But on Monday, in an election for the presidency of the World Chess Federation, the game’s governing body, Mr. Kasparov received a stinging rebuke in his effort to unseat the incumbent, Kirsan N. Ilyumzhinov. Mr. Ilyumzhinov won handily, by a vote of 110 to 61, in Tromso, Norway.
Mr. Ilyumzhinov, 52, a native of Kalmykia, a poor Russian republic on the Caspian Sea, has led the chess federation since 1995, but not without controversy. He cultivated friendships with Saddam Hussein, Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi and Bashar al-Assad, the Syrian president, and claims that he was abducted by space aliens one night in 1997. He also claims the game was invented by extraterrestrials.
Mr. Kasparov, 51, who lived in and played for Russia for many years, retired from competition in 2005. He has complained for years that Mr. Ilyumzhinov’s stewardship of the federation has discouraged corporate sponsorship and brought the group disrepute.
After the election, Mr. Ilyumzhinov issued a statement through a spokesman. “We have big differences with my opponent: I believe that chess should be clear of politics, while he thinks that they are a political tool.”
Mr. Kasparov has long been a critic of President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia and has sought to find ways to force him from power. Some people saw Mr. Kasparov’s running for the presidency of the federation as part of an effort to gain a more visible platform for his views.
In a pre-emptive move in the months leading up to the election, Russian embassies in many countries called chess officials in an effort to help the candidacy of Mr. Ilyumzhinov. Among those who said they had been contacted were officials in the Czech Republic, Ireland, Jamaica, Kenya, Myanmar, Nigeria, Norway and Singapore.
The election was held during the Chess Olympiad, a biennial competition that will end Thursday, and each of the participating countries had one vote.
The candidates crisscrossed the globe in a long, bitter campaign for support. Each side charged the other with trying to secure votes through dirty dealing and bribery, charges that were elevated after secret contracts signed by the candidates were put online this year.
One contract was between Mr. Kasparov and Ignatius Leong, a Singaporean chess official who was the general secretary of the federation and Mr. Ilyumzhinov’s lieutenant. In the contract, Mr. Kasparov, through his foundation, agreed to pay a scholastic chess foundation run by Mr. Leong up to $1 million in return for Mr. Leong’s securing votes for Mr. Kasparov’s election.
The other contract was between Mr. Ilyumzhinov and Andrew Paulson, the founder of an organization called Agon that was given the exclusive right to organize all top chess events. In the contract, Mr. Ilyumzhinov would have owned 51 percent of Agon and Mr. Paulson the rest. Both men said the contract was real but never went into effect.
Mr. Kasparov’s campaign also accused Mr. Ilyumzhinov, through his control of the federation, of replacing chess officials in some countries who were loyal to Mr. Kasparov with officials who supported Mr. Ilyumzhinov. Among the countries where Mr. Kasparov said this had happened were Afghanistan and Gabon.
In the end, all of the jockeying did not make a big difference, as the vote was no closer than it was in 2010, when Mr. Ilyumzhinov beat back a challenge by Anatoly Karpov, Mr. Kasparov’s longtime nemesis and his predecessor as world champion. In that election, Mr. Kasparov supported Mr. Karpov, but Mr. Ilyumzhinov won 95 to 55.
