Honestly I’m not sure why Hayward decided to go with track over road, considering he’s had much more success on the latter? Maybe trying to challenge himself more?

Don't lots of Paralympians double up?

Throughout the season, yeah. 
 

During the Paralympics, none of our athletes are doubling up, but some athletes from other countries do.
