Good to see the Tokyo Paralympics getting reasonable attention in the media on the opening day. But worrying that the first case of covid has already surfaced amongst the athletes. Some of these guys are more at risk than the average due to their underlying conditions, so hoping the protocols are firmly in place.
Just listening to the story of one of the equestrians in the US team, who lost both legs when she was just seventeen, in the suicide bombing at Brussels Airport in 2016, as outlined this evening on CNN, was a powerful reminder of just how much the participants in the games give us to cheer for - regardless of nationality. (Though, to be honest, I'll be cheering Team GB just that bit louder than the others. Hah!)
