Watching a bit of the women’s basketball finals. Not sure if it’s nervousness, but I haven’t seen such a huge gap in quality between women and men’s sport on top level in ages.
So that is that, I enjoyed it. Ticked a box and filled a gap thanks “the hundred”.

Paralympics marathon runner stripped of medal after helping guide with cramp metres from finish
Elena Congost’s guide, Mia Carol, looked likely to collapse as he cramped up near the marathon finish line in Paris
AParalympic marathon runner was left “devastated” after being disqualified and denied a bronze medal for an error just metres from the finish line.
Elena Congost let go of her rope momentarily after her guide, Mia Carol, cramped up late in the race on Sunday, the final day of the Paris Games.
The Spaniard was left in tears after officials had ruled she broke the regulations, with the bronze medal being awarded to Japan’s Misato Michishita. Runners in the T12 event for athletes with visual impairments must be tethered to their guide for the duration of the race.
“I’m devastated, to be honest, because I had the medal,” said Congost, who was born with a degenerative hereditary eye disease.
“I’m super proud of everything I’ve done and in the end they disqualified me because 10 meters from the finish line because I let the rope go for a second.
“It was a reflex act of any human, to hold on to a person who is falling next to you. But they say that I have let go of the rope for a second and since I have let it go, that’s it, there is no turning back. I don’t understand that
“It’s not for cheating, it’s not for dragging down an athlete. I am left with nothing. I can’t find any explanation for it and it seems so unfair and so surreal, really.”

At worst just give her a 5 second time penalty. She’s clearly far ahead of the next athlete.

Sport officials being far away from anything which makes out sport in the first place. How surprising, eh? 
That lass doesn’t deserve this ignominous treatment, that’s for sure.
