from what I can see on the rowing website she has ARTHRITIS , not a missing arm or a missing leg, but ARTHRITIS, a manageable condition, phuck me no wonder why she's THREE TIME WORLD CHAMPION

A shocking comment that is indefensible!
Perhaps, come the day that this hits you, you may be more understanding. |

I agree with Aunty Post.
Wholly uncalled for. |

Cheers for the support everyone.
Acquiesce (good song - one of my favourites), Pam also has fused wrist and ankle bones. Google 'methotrexate' to check out the medicine she has to take and the side effects it has. Finally of course, Pam doesn't write the rules. Her classification is the least-impaired of all Paralympic classifications but so what? Leaving aside fatherly pride, I'll support the British fly in a 'two-flies-climbing-a-wall' competition, so if there is a GB runner in a race, irrespective of what you think, why not just get behing them? |

wasn't meant to deliberately sound out of order just saying things the only way I can, as I see them, but in paraolympic sport, there are always cases of people having advantages because of the severity of each disability compared to the other, for example length of blades in running, level of visual impairment in archery. but yes who gives a phuck what I think, a winner is a winner and yes acquiesce imo was their finest hour. no hard feelings

None taken
In the boat there's four people with varying levels of disability all of which are 'evened out' by an impairment-scoring mechanism too tricksy to explain, so the boat itself has no advantage over other competitors regarding the overall level of impairment of the crews. |
