There is a male gymnast who trains at our local leisure centre, the flags and banners have been out all week. It's a shame it's not been afforded the Coverage of the Olympics itself

Some people are a disgrace to humankind.

if you want to know exactly how good she is.. at the 2012 olympic when they introduced the womens team pursuit.. it was going to be the same as men... 4 people over 4k...

in the year before the olympics, the UCI changed it so it would be 3 people over 3k....

I'm not really sure what you're asking.

Mental ill health isn't a paralympic classification but intellectual impairment is.

I don't know the classification tables. I know that I can't find T16 on the IPC site. I know I have never seen mental ill health listed but I have seen intellectual capacity.

I don't understand the point you are trying to make.

There are the Special Olympics for those with a mental disability - Special Olympics is the world's largest sports organization for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, providing year-round training and competitions to more than 5.3 million athletes and Unified Sports partners in nearly 170 countries.

Mental health issues are not the same eg depression, anxiety, addiction, etc.

I volunteered at the European Special Olympics held in Glasgow in 1990.

To answer your question, yes I am sure that mental ill health is not the same as intellectual impairment. One is a developmental issue (for the Paralympics this must be impairment before age 18). The other is a chemical imbalance or reaction to a situation such as a bereavement.

I still don't know what point it is you are trying to make.

You can be an academic genius physicist with depression but probably not with development delay and intellectual impairment.

Whitehead missed the gold. He was really pushing himself and got the silver at the last second.

Nothing dirty at all - just muddle aged women drinking and talking about our bits.

Liam Malone on The Last Leg is hilarious.

The Last Leg has really been back to it's original best doing the Paralympics.

I also really liked the signed ad break the other day.

It's the two Ellies in the pool tonight and then it's all almost over.

Shag, it ends tomorrow. It's shorter than the Olympics.

I liked the ad with Jack Whitehall where Ellie says "Don't come near me with that"

I've really enjoyed these games. All the reports have been that these have saved the games this year, with more people at some events than they had for the Olympics.

I won't be able to see the whole of the closing ceremony but well done Rio for pulling it off, Ch4 for showing such a variety of the events, The Last Leg and event the special adverts.
