His one arm will be near to fully functioning, however the athletes with two arms will have weaker arms that have been damagaed through diseases that cannot be immediately seen. The power of one arm will be roughly equal to the other competitors 2 arms in order to make the competition fair!

We were always better at paralympics than CZE, But at the olympics it´s usually the opposite

What a semifinal in women's wheelchair tennis.  Van Root serving for the match now, but the leader has changed like 10 times in this set.

Must be something in the water. The quad doubles bronze medal match has just ended after four hours and twenty five minutes which makes it the longest wheelchair tennis match in history.
