A pillow? In disabled people sport? By how? For me this is sick. Sick sick sick. 

It's important. For some kind of disabilities this could be helpful to reach better results. Maybe seems stupid but its not.

They let her start with this pillow. C'mon. If reallly this is all about being different and differently disabled in tolerant open world i don't want to hear anymore about this bulshit. Would Brazilian win if Pole had 1cm smaller pillow? Oh c'mon. This was the killer for me.

don't know the exact detail but our NPC claims they protested about his equipment which was successful (they also protested about the 2nd throw of Polish athlete which was annulled and decreased his result)

In these throwing events, throwers must build themselves a frame to.support themselves, then they take 6 throws at once, then the next thrower goes.  Polish lady threw a WR on her first throw, took another & then didn't throw again.

And i didn't watch all athletes but do they....throw from this pillow? They are all seriously disabled. I'm using only 30% words i want to use. If i used 100% id get dsq here too, maybe it's even worth it. She had na injury what's more after the first throw, serious one, so Brazilians really measured or observed her pillow? Oh fuck this really and them. I havent heard about sth more idiotic in my whole sportive life. And i would feel the same if it went the other way to be clear. If we did sth like this.

To put these cycling kilo times in perspective - these guys would have been winning Gold in the Barcelona or Atlanta Olympics.

The factoring on track cycling feels a bit off. How can 3rd and 4th both break the world records and 1st and 2nd don't. In C1 class, the depth isn't a strong so the factor system benefits them more. Feel unfair.

What exactly is the disability of Atkinson ? Flu or something else ?
