London 2012: Paralympic Cycling Road Races Day 3
London 2012.
Paralympic Cycling, Individual Road Races, in and around the Brands Hatch race circuit, Kent, on Friday, 7 September 2012.
TeamGB co-competitors in the Women's Individual H1-3 Road Race, Rachel Morris (l) and Karen Darke (r), in a post-race interview for TV.
Although Rachel had been officially classified as third, and Karen 4th, they had in fact crossed the finish line hand-in-hand, on exactly the same time. As far as I understand, Rachel actually called Karen to join her up on the podium, and to share the Bronze medal together.
I've seen better photos of the pair from the professional photographers, but - as an amateur - I'm delighted with this shot, just for Karen's smile!
