Olympic open water swimming disabled competitor ?

Question

i mean no disrespect in the question if i sound mean im not im just curious

am watching the swimming, open water swimming and theres a lady competing but she lost a her leg in a car accident

my question is why? i thought they could only compete in paraolympics

Good on her tho they say she 4th in the world thats pretty darn good given her situation

again no one have ago im just curious

Answer 1

If she can compete against the olympic athletes, I say good for her. I think the restriction is only on the paraolympics, not the olympics.
