No victory Hug for Marcel.

Do you think he deserves to be mentioned in this thread?

No, he's not a rider. He's a wheel-chair racer.

Running for visually impaired:
Quite possibly the only racing event where you can see photo finish between two people competing together.

Kazakh shot putter dressing up in style after getting a medal!

But one of them might not be able to see it.

And he has jumped over a half a metre longer than he did today.

His world record would beat every World and Olympic champion except Bob Beamon - Mexico 1968, Carl Lewis - Seoul 1988, and Mike Powell - Tokyo 1991. He would actually tie for gold with Lewis in 1988.

"What's the difference between T61 and T63?"

Errhm... Henrik... I think the difference is quite obvious.


(But why are they classified as 'T'? It's not running...)

No idea why they flagged Low's last attempt. There was definitely no markings in the wax, or whatever the orange thingy is made of.

Paul Daniels going in the T62 400m final. Can he perform some magic?

Hunter ensuring that Tara doesn't get sole bragging rights in the Woodhall household.
Not that she's bothered.

Meanwhile, Floors got tacklehugged.

I felt a bit sorry for the Somalian shot putter who only reached 4 metres, but his PB is apparently only 5.97, so it wasn't as horrible as I feared.
