C4 is using commentators and spokes-people with disabilities that reflect some of the disabilities incurred by the participants.

In some cases, they are considerably better than the mainstream sports presenters.

Ade Adepitan for example has been a brilliant commentator this evening. Informed, knows his subject inside out, has a good grasp of human biology but he's witty, funny, personable, watchable etc

Unlike Claire Balding who should be taken out and shot for getting overly excited by Sophie Christiansen (equestrian gold), who has a fairly obvious form of cerebral palsy and announcing "she's not just just {obvious gap of words} she's got a masters in mathematics, she's intelligent too".

Hello

This thread has been reported because some people are a bit concerned about the title. We do realise it's intended purely non-literally, but we will edit the title to something less, um, controversial.

(And yes, we do realise that the opening post says something similar, but 'taken out and shot' is an idiom so we're leaving that one!)
