something interesting for you guys
this guy who won a gold medal yesterday and will probably win another one in next few days
https://olympics.com/en/paris-2024-paralympics/athlete/serkan-yildirim_2000715
is in fact the same person as this guy
https://worldathletics.org/athletes/islamic-republic-of-iran/sajjad-hashemiahangari-14422407
and he is not blind, he is a national record holder in Iran in 400m and 2012 Olympian
I'm no doctor but I highly doubt he is qualified to participate in Paralympics in T12 class. he probably has a better eyesight than some of us here.
there are other Iranians in Paralympics, paid to compete for Turkiye but only this one completely changed his name, guess why ? probably to not get identified. didn't work well.

Europe - The Final Countdown
Lyrics
Final Countdown
We're leaving together
But still it's farewell
And maybe we'll come back
To earth, who can tell?
I guess there is no one to blame We're leaving ground (leaving ground) Will things ever be the same again?
[Hook]
It's the final countdown The final countdown
[Verse 2]
We're heading for Venus (Venus) And still we stand tall
Cause maybe they've seen us
And welcome us, all yeah
With so many lightyears to go
And things to be found (to be found) I'm sure that we'll all miss her so
[Hook]
It's the final countdown The final countdown.
Guitar solo etc
It’s the final countdown
It was a great drive, but to be entirely fair about the 'from last place to the win' thing: that was also definitely part luck The ones in the top had made their stop, then a safety car appeared and Bortoleto and several others could get a 'free' stop (including Verschoor, who got a 3rd place that way)
But in general: yeah, Bortoleto definitely should be on the radar for some team...
