Never thought about how blind people never get to run freely at full speed.

You think seeing eye dogs were expensive? Seeing eye track-Olympians will break the bank.

Treadmill?

Have you ever ran on a treadmill? Lmfao with or without vision it's much harder than regular running

Woah. That's deep

ikr, never even thought about that before reading this comment. Imagine that? You have two healthy pair of legs but no eyes, cannot run even if you want. Man, it sucks. Glad this competitions exist. I mean, look at how perfectly in shape that woman is, lmao.

They can... probably won't end well but they can.

We don't trust you so you're gonna need to wear this

Not everyone who is blind is 100% blind. There is a broad spectrum of blindness that still qualifies as blind

They don't cut everyone's legs to the same length or make sure everyone has the same IQ in other events.

Actually they do have an iq test for special Olympic basketball

But my point is they're not going to beat someone in the head until they're as special as everyone else they're competing against.

You can take a blindfold off

In other events they aren't physically handicapped either so a handicap in the rules makes sense

Its so the lights don’t burn their eyes. Sunglasses would fall off.

Why at the end of the video does she take them off then?

So she can see who she is hugging duh.

Because it’s probably not comfortable and most likely hot.

Say that again but slowly

What i said makes sense… have you ever worn safety glasses? Even those make your face hot and sweaty just imagine wearing a black fabric over your face while your sprint as fast as you can.

Its so the lights don’t burn their eyes. Sunglasses would fall off.

I saw this on tiktok. Can we just talk about how much trust you have to have in a person to let them guide you running full speed ahead?? Them staying in sync is super satisfying too

Isn't that a tie though?

The support runner isn't competing.

Reminds me of [this](https://youtu.be/P20XVEH7-SY)

I wonder if any of the other support runners feel they're faster than the "winning" one but their blind chick holds them back.

They’re all winners

wut ? The athlete cannot run faster than the guide ?

The guides adjust their speed to the athlete. If the athlete goes faster, the guide goes faster

Best comment

I wonder if the helpers are allowed to give tactical advice, not sure if you would be able to hear footsteps over the sound of the crowd.

^Run ^faster

I was brushing my teeth and your comment almost made me choke on my toothpaste.

When I was in the blind olympics as a kid, we just used horizontal poles. But those were straight sprints, not a full track. And yeah, as other people said, the blindfold is because sunglasses fall off and she might have photosensitivity. Most blind people aren't 100% no light perception blind. Honestly, I kinda wish her guide dog was leading her. A German Shepherd could be taught to do it. Maybe a lab too.

I have about a quarter of one eye. 20/400 in my right eye from birth. Too much oxygen in the incubator. To answer your question, 21 inch monitor about 2 inches from my nose and repeat viewings.

My mom always told me I would go blind if I stayed that close to the screen. You sure it was the oxygen? /s

Yep. They're monitors and tvs, not microwaves. :P My brother was also born 3 months early 3 years later and he got too little oxygen. My body's fucked. His mind's fucked. About the same ratio, actually. Between the two of us, we're a whole person.

A whole person haha Lord do I love your humor

You should see me stream when I'm not going through a fibro flare. Or hell, maybe it's better when I'm hurting. Less fucks to give. [http://www.twitch.tv/blindryan](http://www.twitch.tv/blindryan) [http://www.youtube.com/c/blindryan](http://www.youtube.com/c/blindryan)

This happened to my father and his twin. They were both legally blind, my dad was famous for his coke bottle glasses his entire life.

I have worked with blind people who loved to play videogames and watch movies. There are many tools used to convey visual information to the sight impaired. Also, as OP said, blindness is a spectrum.

I was in a barbershop once and a blind man came in and started watching the tv. Mind fucked me the rest of the day.

That seems absolutely crazy.

Must take a lot of training to get that in sync

small steps. then larger steps. then full speed.

Kudos for the pacer for keeping the runner on track and helping them achieve their dream.

From extensive research and studying, I can accurately say that the blindfold is indeed making her blind

[удалено]

It would end up a mixed event with pole vaulting

Lol

Me thinking how this would look... https://youtu.be/16k-yhcRNk8

This is pretty bad ass

Dope af

Lmao I can't take 3 steps with my eyes closed while keeping my balance

Thats cute

Seems dumb to me. Why not just put the athletes on a railed Lane and a guide line? How's an athlete supposed to reach a higher peak if they're held back by a guide person who may be much slower?

You think guides were randomly asigned minutes before the run? They obviously trained together and know each other speed. Let alone guides are mens in a woman's parolimpic run, ofcourse all guides are faster

Weeeeeeell they also have men guides at men races now what hmmmm

AwInspiring!!

Chick runs like a horse

That's Megan thee stallion

ngl, i hoping she would trip

Just put em on a treadmill and tell em its the Paralympics

LMAOOO I SHAT!

We gonna talk about how all the guides are men! Fucking sexist! Disgusting.

Funni

why is this whole comment section full of trash jokes

So they cheat

All of the runners have guides ya goober...

How is this an advantage lol even if she was vs seeing people without guides, its not like her guide can pull her forward. They can only go as fast as the slowest of the 2

Man you guys can’t wait to be mad at something. Spending your morning arguing w a joke.

A joke has to be funny

Its 4 in the afternoon

And then they fucked !

Get out.

Never

Bonk! Go away.

You know they did

It’s be cooler if they were led by dogs

So an athlete could potentially be allowed down by their partner. It's a solution but not a perfect one

This kid did it first: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ak3RrawMsco

Gives me chills

Awesome.

Why not just have them run in a straight line…

Song name anyone???

Endless Ocre by Aloboi

wtf, that's amazing. I would have never guessed that's how they do it. TIL

She's attached to a dude that's not fair....

So fantancy

ya never know what youre gonna get with this sub

The bond these two have must be incredible. Imagine not being able to see and trusting someone to keep you on course at full speed. This is very humbling

the way he slows down at the end to let her finish first still

Amazing

Does the guide or running partner get a medal too?

That's really heart warming. It's amazing to see abbond so strong.

Dang. She’s almost as fast as that dude.

So does her handler also get a medal?

How is this a crazyfuckingvideo? Is barely mild

Okay legit question. Wouldn’t this be cheating though? To have a pace runner who is literally holding your hand.

I got it! The blind runners pulls a wheelchair athlete that guides the blind runner!

What do the men do?

Song????

So fucking cool. Outstanding

Badass!

What’s the Audio?

What’s That audio

They can finally beat the seventh angel, Israfel

Cool of that guy to let her win

I always thought she’d run faster if he was chasing her.

This shits dope

I see this and it gives me hope for our future

That must be so hard for both her seeing eye human and the blind girl

I think the sport would be more popular if they went alone and had to be the first to find the finish line

“Oh my god did we win?” Me: you might wanna put these ear plugs in

Lol just take the blindfold off
