I'm not talking about trans athletes. I'm talking about athletes with two human legs racing against athletes with those giant, springy artificial legs.

I assume it's less about winning and more about networking and awareness. I do feel it's a bit overshadowed by the upper crust getting their optics set if they're not careful but most charity stuff is.

What I wonder is how they balance out the athletes' disabilities. Like say a runner with one blade prosthetic and one foot vs a runner with two blades?
