    Ah good, was wondering what the relationship of Endurance Rowing was to Coastal Rowing. They're wimping out a bit holding it at Genoa though, would prefer somewhere a bit more storm-tossed.

    Judging always takes two or three minutes in these competitions - longer even for possible medal runs - for reasons above, so just saying DNI is a way of saying it's not worth comparing a fall on the third hit to a fall on the fourth hit since neither are going to affect the overall.

    Scoring in all these events is a bit strange as they are not judging a pre-defined move to an absolute standard, as happens in diving, gymnastics etc, but are constantly shuffling around trying to score riders relative not only to each other, but to that riders' previous runs earlier in the competition and qualifying.

    Athletics is always the easiest & cheapest sport for new nations to start a para program, so it will always be the most competitive. But certainly UKA seems a bit complacent when it comes to recruiting new talent compared to swimming or cycling for sure.

    So only one actual original idea from 1976 & 24 people copying someone else? Sounds like 21st Century music right enough.

    We got a 4x100m relay that could bring up medal 100..... Good news.is that there is no baton, just a tap.... Silver medal behind have a bleeding guess... OK pretty sure we are on 100 medals now because we are in an active fencing final.

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