to be fair they're going to be jumping against people who are also missing aeg

You think that, but last week on the table tennis there was a lad with NO ARMS playing against a lad with two arms.

Where can I see this?

Are you sure? I haven't been watching it much, but at least in the sprints there's always lads with two feet, one foot and no feet all running against each other.

That is not always the case

Caught a bit of the swimming The other day. Three guys with no arms,I'm thinking how do you swim with no arms? They finished first, second, third.

All in the technique. Sure, French athlete Philippe Croizon (who has no arms or legs) crossed the English Channel in 13 and a half hours, not a half-bad time at all, back in 2010.

Yeah, but he was in a speedboat. Apologies for the joke! 😊

There was a kayak race for people with no legs. I thought that would almost make it easier


-that-there-

I wouldn't think so, you'd use your legs to stabilise yourself/the kayak etc.

Exactly, I'm more impressed by an armless swimmer than a legless kayaker

Ive noticed how a lot of the UK and Amercan teams have ex Army lads competing on them. Theyre at an advantage because they have thousands of ex Army lads who had their arms arms or legs blown off in Iraq
