The Para's have been outstanding.
Bad news. Batman Golbarnezhad of Iran died in the road race. Tragic.
No idea what happened but IMO the Olympic Road course was dangerous. Just ask Annemiek van Vleuten & Geraint Thomas As was the marathon course which forced runners around very tight bends on slippy surfaces. Rio really should have sorted out these courses http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/disability-sport/37398333
Very sad news indeed. The bbc report states that the treacherous descent from the Olympic course was not included, but it just goes to show that racing can never be 'safe'
