This is the banner photo that TopFoto is using during the Paralympics. Clearly Harold Abrahams has lost himself spatially. Without his eyes, he can't focus his mind and body in a straight line, despite the interesting guide flag thing.
This is what was so interesting about the Paralympics – it is so much about the mind, and the intellect, driving everything forward. Even the body, perfect and imperfect.
