Men's 100m Backstroke - S14 | Final | Swimming | Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games

Swam in the, he swam in Adelaide in that incredibly fast time. Wonderful wind up and coil. Slow reaction time from Hance as he gets away relatively slow. It was the British swimmers who got off to the best start. It is Lawlor who looks to be ahead. Lee alongside him. >> Hance doesn't have the best reaction time but his underwater is good. Once he pops into his stroke, there's no touching him. He's already a body length ahead of everyone else. 27.7. He is much quicker than when he went out this morning.

He was about two 100ths of a second off of the Paralympic record he set this morning. 100th of a second lower and he started to fade a bit at the end which is why he didn't break the world record. I mean he was so much quicker than anyone else in that final swim. So he's got to be happy with that finish. >> Imagine if he
