You say that, but have not supported it. By contrast, the minimum entry standards are far above your average Kent club runner and not too far off those of the Olympics.Well most wouldn't as already pointed out.
You could say whatever you like, but that doesn't make it true either.You could say the same about the Paralympics, the argument isn't about need as already pointed out.
The fact remains that the Paras were founded for those of Olympic standard who were too disadvantaged by disability for it to be a level playing field... long after disabled competitors were already competing (and sometimes winning) in the regular Olympics.
And the principle is a 'special event' for people who just aren't good enough... which we already have in all the amateur events, and if they're not even good enough for those then it's just tough ****.No, I've repeatedly tried to get you to move away from the label aspect as it's irrelevant, rather it's the principle regardless of whether the label is used or not.
