Congratulations to the champion. It'll get tougher once the disabled win equality and are able to participate too using powered cycles.

Congratulations to the champion. It'll get tougher once the disabled win equality and are able to participate too using powered cycles.
- falcolas 7y agoThis has already come up in running, but with the bionic (basically a big carbon fiber spring) foot instead of a powered cycle. And it raised a huge stink when the disabled person won.
- AnimalMuppet 7y agoThat's in sprinting. And in marathons, there's a similar thing - the wheelchair people are in a separate category, because otherwise they would destroy the "able" people.
- falcolas 7y agoIt would even matter in longer distance running as well - the spring being more energy efficient than feet and ankles. https://www.runnersworld.com/news/a23133365/blake-leeper-running-blades-data/ https://www.runnersworld.com/news/a23133365/blake-leeper-run...
