[Other Sport] Billy Monger

[lawros left foot]

I’ve just watched the documentary on BBC1 about Billy Monger attempt to beat the World Record time fr a double leg amputee in the Kona Ironman.

The man is incredible, what an inspiration.
I don’t follow any motor sports, so he had gone under my radar a bit, I watched the race around the world he was in but, knew little about him apart from that. Reading up on him after tonight’s programme, my admiration for him is through the roof, e is the answer to anyone who says today’s youth hasn’t got the mental tenacity and courage of previous generations.

Incredible young man. Had me in tears at the end.

He was better than George Russell and could have gone on to become an F1 star, maybe even WDC

Amazing character, watch this programe if you want to see real determination.

Yup, Billy is a good'un. He's made regular appearances on the C4 F1 coverage over the years, always thought he was one of the better pundits despite being so young.

Him and his sister were great in Race Across the World.
