So many people don't seem to understand that this was not a team competition. This was a blind women's competition! The men were not actually in the race, they were just track guides. They need people that can keep up with the women's speed to not drag down their time.
@@seesidesummerhouse6112 I guess that could be the case some are completely or totally blind and some are legally blind. But if they're all blindfolded there is no unfair advantage.
I never even knew this existed, I can only imagine how it must feel to be blind running at that speed. The trust you have to have in your guide is astounding!, hats off to her and every other blind person out there chasing their dreams regardless!
The winning runner is Libby Clegg a Scottish athlete competing for Great Britain, her guide is Chris Clarke. During the Rio games she did the double and won gold medals for the 200m, shown here, plus the 100m in the T11 category. In one race on her way to the 100m final (might have been the semi final) she was disqualified but reinstated after an appeal, allowing her to go on and win the gold in a world record time. This 200m race also had its moments as the Brazilian runner was disqualified after a false start. I’m a huge fan of the para games and remember watching Libby win these races and cheering her on.
@@Thelonous I mean why does it suprise you so much? A blind person can do almost everything a sighter person can with the proper adjustments and practise. Do you suddenly think no blind person is can run away from attackers or that deaf people don't know how to talk "normally"? I'm always baffled at how out of touch other abled people are with reality.
It would be an honor to be her track guide but there's no way I could keep up with her. I betcha his heart was bursting with pride for her and the honor of guiding her
But does it matter what the dudes feel. They are all faster than them and asked to do a job, probably paid. For all we know, it is random who gets what guy. And it's not ABOUT that. It is a completely normal race between blind adult females of the species homo sapiens.
@@jenspedersen4509 Wow, way to simplify the race and dumb down the skill needed to pull something like this off for both runners. Can you imagine how hard it must be to remain in sync with your partner while trying to run as fast as you can without gassing out before the end? Not only that, but the communication between the two to make sure they stay on pace and on track? I doubt he's just some dude picked at random to run with her that day. I imagine they had to train for this for quite some time together.
@@Darion350 You imagine... but did you check, ask around? I admit that I didn't ask around, but I'm not using my imagination to interpret this. Best runner won, but you are belittling her by giving the guy this much credit. Any of those dudes could have coached her to win. It's not about that. They are there to help her stay in her fucking lane... the rest is talent, practice and mentality... just like it is for people with normal vision. I can't believe so many people are dumbing down this video and sport to something that it is not.
@@jenspedersen4509 How am I giving the guy too much credit? I give them both credit for having to work as a team to get this done. Can you imagine doing this yourself? There's no way this is as easy as running solo, hence why I give credit to both. Common sense tells me they had to have trained together for quite some time to be able to do this. I doubt two people can be this coordinated with each other with minimal interaction beforehand. Anyway, I don't know why your feathers are so ruffled.
@@Darion350 First you imagine, now you doubt. Look at the ones coming in second, third etc. It's the same story, only you are only looking at the winner. Did you ever run in track and field yourself? Compete un sports at all? There is no wokeness needed in sports... Things happen due to practice and talent.
I need a Pixar movie about a blind girl that loves running and never gives up and truly fights for her dream and her male best friend (please don’t make them fall in love) that supports her so much that he trains every day with her to be able to keep up with her.
How about she gets in an accident or her vision degenerates and she loses her sight but never the passion for the sport. People love stories where the protagonists fights an uphill battle against such odds and triumphs.
Make it a futuristic setting and a robotic ai assistant instead of a male human. That way shippers have fun but the story can stay focused and wholesome.
@@jenspedersen4509 I fully agree ! He held back nothing as they weren’t even racing against each other. So odd that this is what some see. He is clearly a awesome dedicated guide and they clearly have put in many many countless hours together to be so in sync with each other. Such dedication and trust they have with each other! Beautiful spirits ❤️
It’s not a choice to let the blind person cross first and have the glory, it’s the rules of this type of racing. The guides have to let the blind runner cross the line before them, if the guide crosses first they can be disqualified.
The perfectly synchronized, yet incredibly fast running form. Wow, they have to become one. This is the essence of sports, love and life in 20 seconds.
This is just insane. I am so immensely taken aback by these girls, to not let such a limitation take control of their lives and keep them from accomplishing their dreams, it truly does take a lot of dedication. I can’t help but truly admire their efforts and I’m glad they have available people that are willing to help them further reach their goals, so I’m also very proud of the men who volunteer as guides.
my first time watching this (and other paralympic event) was tokyo 2020. let me tell you i never cried so much on every event. every athlete were amazing! the determination is crazy. you cant really pick a team country to root for. you just fell in love with everyone
This seriously melts my heart. Not only the fact they were both in synced but she was blindfolded and the trust they had in each other to win❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The way the guides drop back so their runner crosses before they do. These men could very easily train to compete themselves but here they are as support so others have an equal opportunity to succeed.
Yeah they are very kind to want to race with each other in this duo race. They saved lives. Other ppl would've tripped and died in here or something...
These guys are so amazing. I didn’t know heros like these men existed. I’m so thankful there are men this talented and selfless to make these girls dreams a possibility.
I am so very proud of people who overcome their ability robbing issues. She was wonderful to watch. My admiration goes out to her. You go, girl ! ! ! !
@@Mimiiix Obviously he’s her guide. He held back and let her cross by herself bc SHE won against the other women. He wanted her to cross the finish line before him
I can see why the OP is so proud of this posting. Obviously the subject is highly interesting. The song that was chosen fits the first part as a comment on her daring and the resourcefulness of the racing method. Second part comes in with good timing as well. Good stuff.
I really thought it was a two legged race and was very impressed. But what it is actually is makes this astounding. Props to those two and the other contestants
I mess with it. Especially when u see all the work he was putting in to throttle himself and all the work she was putting in to maintain her pace. Both knew the assignment.
Absolutely incredible ! ❤ gives me goose bumps !! Such an incredible team! I’m curious if they are together or is he purely a team partner trained to be her guide! The hug at the end makes me feel they might be together as a couple. Very touching. Makes this even more beautiful ❤🥹 But even if they are purely a team for track as her guide , such a beautiful experience and bond they must have. Such a beautiful thing for me to witness 💗 Such a brave and admirable women to pursue track. She’s incredibly fit and brave. The team work to build this type of trust within one self and another is very admirable ❤
@David Bastos obviously as my comment states the beauty of their relationship regardless if it’s romantic or not. I was simply inquiring if they are a couple as that could put another dynamic aspect to their relationship…. Ha or not.🤷🏼♀️ It was simply a curiosity.
My sister's husband passed away after they'd only been married for four months- this video always makes me think of them. I believe he has an eternal perspective now, and with God, he guides her and is by her side
Why don't you do it better and faster if it's "just running blind folded"? Please, I'd love to see you attempt this and actually be in a full-out sprint. The number of bones you'd break is just an added bonus.
So many people don't seem to understand that this was not a team competition. This was a blind women's competition! The men were not actually in the race, they were just track guides. They need people that can keep up with the women's speed to not drag down their time.
thank you for the information
We all saw it with our own eyes….😂😂😂😂
That's what I explained to my son...Each of the track guides had to be faster than the race runners or they would just slow them down.
I’m assuming they’re wearing blindfolds because some of them may only be partially blind?
@@seesidesummerhouse6112 I guess that could be the case some are completely or totally blind and some are legally blind. But if they're all blindfolded there is no unfair advantage.
They were perfectly in sync with each other.

Nahhhh they werent

Find yourself a man who can be perfectly in sync with you

Thanks for filling in the backstory for this wonderful vid
It's an inspirational games, except for the fact all these para athletes are doped to the gills lol. Jk????
Boggles my mind that a blind person would set out to become an athlete. That's raw grit and determination if I have ever seen it!

Since Pixar movies are hella unrealistic I’d say it would work

they will make them fall in love sadly.
I coached track almost half my life and I've never seen anything like that. That was amazing. Running blind in the truest sense word.
So beautiful, he even held back to let her cross the line as an individual.
All of the partners did it. It'd probably to do with the timing
Lol what? It was a blind women's comp, the men were just the guides.
You must be sarcastic here. She is racing against other blind women, not him or the other chaperones

Synchronized?

This video shows that with enough willpower, you can move mountains! Very inspirational
Absolutely beautiful. In the world we live in today we could use more of these moments
How nice this shows how good humanity God bless all of you!!!
Amazing, immediately started crying! Sports can be magical!
The hug at the end shows there’s still humanity out there❤️
Why does it show that? That's a preposterous statement. They are not competing. She is blind!
Lol
🤷♂️
Huh??? Lmaooo
@jenspedersen4509 Yes but they didn't have to hug, it's a job, they chose to
my first time watching this (and other paralympic event) was tokyo 2020. let me tell you i never cried so much on every event. every athlete were amazing! the determination is crazy. you cant really pick a team country to root for. you just fell in love with everyone
It's so nice to see the blind girl helped the deaf man run the race.
good chemistry and synchronisation
she knew exactly where the finish line was even though she's blind, amazing
He was communicating with her all that time
Just look at her determination, giving it her all. Beautiful!
This is awesome, I’m so glad people are out there willing to be there for them. He matched her step per step……..awesome!!!
He must be so proud to have the honour of guiding her 🥺 and he even slowed down at the end to let her cross the finish line by herself
That’s what the guides are supposed to do
When I realized what was happening I cried like a baby
Me too
They way he pushed her and they flowed together. Best guide she could ask for. You go girl! Kudos to you man. Absolutely amazing
Just simply amazing! Wow That’s so cool that she can follow her bliss and run! She is fast too! Beautiful!
This seriously melts my heart. Not only the fact they were both in synced but she was blindfolded and the trust they had in each other to win❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
All the girls in this race are legally blind, still beautiful tho
That's how her race is ran. She's blind and he's her guide.
@@4114benji The trust this takes! Going that speed in synch. All the hard work & practice needed leading up to this. I'm in awe.

Unbelievably inspirational!!! And incredibly beautiful video!!!!🙏🏼🥰✝️✝️✝️
Being great is a mountain, but to climb up and take somebody with you to achieve greatness is good
I cry ever time I see the MIRACLE -such trust and incredible strength🥲 God Love Them Both
🫠♥️♥️♥️
This song brings back so many memories 😢 It always brings a few tears to my eyes.
Bro, my last name is Thompson too
My Nana & Grandpa’s first dance song (Elvis, of course 😉).
That dude... mid run he tells her.. " we gonna win this!! Keep on running!!!"😭😭😭❤️🔥❤️🔥
this video gave me such chills....these guides are so awesome in what they do ... awesome
Морально сильный люди, уважение к таким сильным личностям!
The trust she put in him to lead them, and they where in sync at all times.. Is amaizng ... Abouslety amazing
It's called training 💀
Duh
Watching paralympics really gives you wholesome goosebumps
You see him encouraging her to finish strong 😭❤️🙌
I love this. Complete trust, commitment, oneness and strength.
Now that takes love and dedication to train with her to win and not have it be about your accomplishment but hers. So awesome. ❤😂
That is so awesome. It brought tears to my eyes. I am former athletes and I can't imagine her thrill of victory.
Brought tears to my eyes ☺️
The way the guides drop back so their runner crosses before they do. These men could very easily train to compete themselves but here they are as support so others have an equal opportunity to succeed.

The true definition of love
no.. he’s guiding a blind woman on the track- they aren’t a couple
Beautiful. 💕 what an incredible bond they must share! 💯🤍
Running blind must be an absolutely wild feeling!
Yeah, and you must really trust your partner to guide you.
Someone cutting onions in here?
Yeah, it's crazy huh?
He’s leading her and she 100% trusts her partner. How a relationship should be in my opinion ❤
Hes not leading her? She helps her so she stays ion the tracks
That's awesome. And you can see that he kept on pushing her as they were running. Respect.
He’s not pushing her. He’s just a guide. She’s pushing herself. Saying he has something to do with it takes away from her skill as an athlete.
You have not lived today until you have done something for someone who can never repay you.
-John Bunyan
Never repay? They are paid guides.
世界にはこんな素晴らしいスポーツがあるんですね😢
Imagine running as fast as you can with your eyes closed. That's amazing. Kudos to the guides 👌💞🙏🏼🤗
the man is just a tracker who can keep up with her speed and time...thats why the woman's head moved forward for her record...both are incredible...
This is amazing. Here I'm trying to overcome issues in my life yet I can see. You can do all things through christ who strengthens you.
Dang that camera man is fast.
I am so very proud of people who overcome their ability robbing issues. She was wonderful to watch. My admiration goes out to her. You go, girl ! ! ! !
We need more of this kind of thing in the world today.
This is beautiful! The power these blind runners have is amazing! And these assistant runners that guide them are just as awesome!
She had some wheels on her!👍🏽

very cool. What an awe inspiring video to wake up to.
Impeccable Synergy
I like how all the guides pull back at the finish line to let the competitors pass the line first.
thats the rules, they have to
봐도 봐도 감동스런 장면 모두모두 화이팅 ,
This was Beautiful ! Now that's called being there for Somebody ❤️💯
I recommend everyone tries to full speed sprint while holding hands with someone, that’s absolutely insane how well they can do that
Thank you! I love to see people helping each other!
Absolutely incredible ! ❤ gives me goose bumps !! Such an incredible team!

It's actually the best one ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Such faith in her partner, she was going full speed because she trusted him so dearly.
What an amazing guy❣️
Congratulations to all 3 women and awesome job for these guides 🙌🏽👏🏽
My sister's husband passed away after they'd only been married for four months- this video always makes me think of them. I believe he has an eternal perspective now, and with God, he guides her and is by her side
Love this 💜
Wow bless her and her guider❤️
The perfect synchrony is UNREAAAL!!! ❤❤❤
She’s just running blind folded why is it so hyped
She is blind and to make sure that she has no light or shadow perception she wears a blindfold and the other guy is a running guide
Perfectly in sync, even though one is blindfolded 😊
Try that yourself and you'll know why
...because you can't run and you can see🤨
Why don't you do it better and faster if it's "just running blind folded"? Please, I'd love to see you attempt this and actually be in a full-out sprint. The number of bones you'd break is just an added bonus.
That guy trips and falls, her career is over 😂
Holy cow she did that while blind folded. Pro gamer move
she’s blind anyways
Props to both the men & women because the skill it takes to be in sync like that is crazy 1 mistep could cause an accident
I agree, this is so much better than the clickb you post usually.
how did she know where the finishing line was?
She didn’t she just kept on running and then the guy probably told her
@@jellybean4583 when they got to the finish line, she bumped forward without seeing anything. I watch the guy's mouth too, he said nothing
@Shannon L Yeah, that's probably it. The people running with them probably aren't allowed to tell them anything.
@Shannon L I understand that but to be spot on? C'mon man
She felt the tape against her.
I’m amazed and in tears watching this. That was incredible! Bravo to both of them for their hard work and dedication to this amazing sport.
I have so much respect for both the trusting relationship between these to and both of their skill levels to be able to pull this off!
