[@emmysun4639]

Sometimes it is aspiring athletes who don't get to take part in Olympics for whatever reasons and this is one way they get to fulfil and realize their dream of being a part of Olympics. And they train intensely with their visually impaired sprinters to help them achieve their goal too. It's such a beautiful partnership because it involves trust, dedication and a balance spread across the entire thing. Amazing! They are both winners eventually because it is team work and they need each other.

@@saravanapriya8542 6:51 a rule is that the guide has to cross the finish line after the Paralympic athlete. the guide takes a slowed step and signals with his tethered hand when she's one step from the finish line.

[@leonardodalongisland]

I thought the same thing but as a former runner/coach I have to believe that the Guide calls out, "Line," or "Lean."

[@mikeholton9876]

i wonder how fast the guides could run the 200 by themselves? they are as impressive as the runners in their own way, being able to run stride for stride with a female runner with shorter legs and stride (who also cant see a damn thing) without taking away form the natural stride of the blind athlete. this to me is just amazing in its physical and mental requirements. amazing stuff guys!

[@CherylMotherofSeven]

I thought about that as well. Their guides are amazing athletes and then some, for they are timing their stride to meet with their companion. And it is interesting that all the guides are men, taller, stronger and usually faster than women. So the woman also is aided by his force/energy. I used to compete in high school and occasionally tethered to a stronger male for running, and it was actually exhilarating because I was faster because of his/my running companion’s speed & agility! So yeah, it is great to have a stronger companion!❤

[@chingchingchingching2064]

They're probably very good coz you can see they're actually holding back here.

[@emmysun4639]

It is a partnership. They practice together, both individuals putting in effort equally - the para Olympic athlete as well as the guide runner. That's how they sync so well. it's the same as a dance troupe practicing for an event and in perfect sync, till it is achieved rather just that in this case the practice is way too intense!
