Swimming | Men's 100m Backstroke S1 final | Rio 2016 Paralympic Games

[@rubyia312]

Their upper body strength is no joke!

[@bijunair2573]

Respect..They are great. I love the paralympics more than normal fancy olympics -because they overcome a disadvantage thrown at them by life and yet smile so wide.. It would have been great if the events are held at the same time , not a few weeks later.

[@swimbie1012]

such respect for these swimmers, they are strong and determined and have conquered when others would've given up

[@luuduonghy659]

Hennadii even beat the world record by a massive gap of 15 second

[@victoriawilson3563]

They all deserve to win they are all hard workers even with what they have been through

These are highly competitive athletes, not toddlers on sports day. They are all amazing, but not everyone is a winner. This is an elite competition.

[@Tinyvalkyrie410]

@@patheticmortal373 thank you. So many people don’t understand that “they are all winners” is horribly ableist. If you wouldn’t say that to an Olympic athlete, don’t say it to a Paralympic one.

[@Janine-x1j]

​@@patheticmortal373I get it completely. But ALL AMAZING covers it just as well

[@brett8680]

It’s profoundly apparent that the top 2 competitors have significant wrist flexion and triceps functioning. How’s that fair for S1?

[@Evanflow69]

I love it how all these people are having a go dont worry about what people say if you try your best than thats all you need god bless you we have these kinds of people in this word to run theyes and the people who cheer on the people participating your in my good books god bless you

Bravissimi✌❤❤

[@chuckie826]

They can't even walk but they swim! Super touching! We need to work hard everyday and don't give up!

[@nicollabreen3335]

So for clarification s1 is more disabled then s4?

[@paralympics]

Hi Nicolla. To clarify, alower number indicates a more severe activity limitation than a higher number.

[@renegonzalezrodriguez8143]

Es merecido reconocimiento a nuestros atletas mexicanos, por ese gran espíritu creador proactivo, en demostrar que no existe límites para vencer..

[@ОльгаПилюгина-ф6ф]

Сколько мужества у этих людей.

[@Janine-x1j]

Masive amount of shoulder and arm work. WOW.... They have to keep on going for 100 meters which can feel VERY long......hot Dang 😮😮

[@MaceWinduDuHuen]

Who introduced them to that sport...

[@黃豆豆-q5z]

respect all of them！

[@bobcatthekittykat1075]

I don’t mean to be rude but isn’t the parolympics sort of biased towards those with all their limbs vs those who don’t have them?

[@patheticmortal373]

It can seem like that sometimes, but the more limbs the higher the drag and the more strength you need to get through the water. That's why you'll see people with fewer limbs in the less severe classes. They are able to get the same propulsion in the water as people with all of their limbs. Similarly you'll see people with all their limbs have weakness and limited movement, combined with the drag from said limbs, resulting in reduced capability thus a lower class.

[@Чебурашка-о7у]

А ещё хорошо бы приставить спасателей к утопающим НУ ХОТЯ БЫ ПО ОДНОМУ

[@phillips8292]

Doesn't s 1 mean like the worst respect tbh

[@sophiarubens54]

yes, s1 is the para swimming classification for athletes with the most extensive physical limitations

[@eliasstrand6313]

Talk about be in the wrong group. The winner is the only one who can swim, the rest do all they can to not drown

[@taxiroticanai]
