from britain's adam yates. staying with cycling, six time olympic gold medallist sir chris hoy has said he sympathises with athletes scheduled to compete at the olympics and paralympics, because it's still unclear if the games will go ahead or not and in what capacity. sir chris said that it was a difficult situation and that theyjust had to plan as though they were definitely going to tokyo. i think for any athlete that is in line for the enemies of the paralympics it's been incredibly challenging couple of years. yes, of course exploit feels insignificant compared to some of the things going on and the different kinds of people are having over the last year but for those involved it's the most important thing in their world and their lives at the moment and to not know whether it is going ahead must

be incredibly difficult and i guess all the athletes in the running for all the athletes in the running for a tentative it keep pushing on as a as in the games are going to go ahead and trust that if the games go ahead and trust that if the games go ahead and trust that if the games go ahead and every single precaution will be taken to make sure it's safe and make sure that it runs as smoothly as possible. well, its six months to go until the olympics and paralympics, but questions are being asked about representation of all disabilities. according to the activity alliance charity, there are 11.5 million people in england with a disability, yet its estimated only a quarter of disabled people are eligible to compete at the games, calling into question the inclusivity of the paralympic movement. kate grey reports. the worlds best power athletes will to stand tokyo in six months times and along with all the uncertainty around covid—19 the international paralympic committee are having to deal with the ongoing issues with the current system coming under

scrutiny for excluding certain disabilities.
