Paralympic swimmer, Arnold Buttok, has missed out on setting a new world record after officials said his 100m swim was wind assisted.

Buttok was interviewed after the race; "Obviously I'm disappointed; flatulence is a recognised disability so to lose out on the record leaves an unpleasant atmosphere. Yes, I'll open a window."

Wouldn't "wind assistance" make you faster?

Dumbnews, I think that's the point.

If a sprinter has a following wind, and runs faster than the World Record, it won't count because he is "wind assisted".
