[Sportsandrec] Equal Acknowledgement for Sighted Partners?

[Jennifer Boylan]

 Hi, I thought the article linked below might be of interest to you.  It
concerns a blind Paralympic medalist who is protesting because his sighted
running partner is not getting the same medal/benefits as he.  I plead
ignorance on Paralympic policies, but know in beep baseball that all team
members, blind and sighted, get the same rings and awards.  I was curious
how my list would weigh in on this issue?
