I didn't follow that race but it sounds similar to the C1 - 3 finals for bronze and 4th in the cycling. A completely 1-legged cyclist versus a 2-legged one.

His false leg looked fantastic, proper terminator look to it.

Great racing lastnight, including Butterworth even though he didn't quite make it. Kadeena Cox goes today in the 500m TT, the day after winning a T38 100m bronze...
