Cheers, I did google it but got nothing.

It’s worth watching - the fella who lost had an unbelievable ability to return smashes that were miles from the table!

The number is the key not the lettering, I'd say that is why google through up nothing.

Men Singles 11


There are 11 classes in total (five sitting, six standing): TT1-5 are for wheelchair athletes, TT6-10 are for standing athletes and TT11 is for athletes with intellectual impairments. Table tennis players who have difficulty gripping the racket may use orthotics to attach the racket to the hand or use strapping to maintain their grip of the racket handle only

Athletes with intellectual impairments

Kinda like a Langers' Forum table tennis competition, or what?

Silver for Dunlevy and Kelly but oh so close to gold, led for most of the race only to be beaten in the sprint finish. Healion and McCrystal finished in 4th

Did you read their interview? They were the stronger bike but the Brits just drafted them and then jumped them. That's what happens. But they asked the Brits to work with them so both could get away. The Brits said only if you don't attack us. Like, WTF? It's a fucking race, of course you'll attack each other at some stage if you're still away. The girls should have said, ah yeah, no bother. Then hit the fuckers with a couple of km to go.

Bronze medal in the Womens Para Marathon.

4 mins ahead of 4th place, 2 hours 48 mins so a really good clip in one of yhe visually impaired categories.

Her Guide Bonks on the run in and she grabs his hand so gets DQ'd.

Harsh beyond belief
