Not as far as I know. Theo does have an (older) brother from the world of sports, speed skating great Jan Bos. Patrick is from an entirely different region than Jan and Theo (who are both from a tiny town 5km from my own small town ).

OK, slow off the mark but did not realise that Para star Hunter Woodhall is Mr Tara Davis-Woodhall.

Ouch, Viera Da Cruz false started and got DQ’d, but she didn’t realize and looked so happy to have won a medal.
