We flicked over at the last minute not knowing it was happening and I have to admit I had a little tear. It was great to see especially the people supporting him. Very inspiring

Absolutely incredible. Just such a shame it doesn’t count as an official world record!

Incredible. Absolutely amazing. We all watched it this morning. Even my 2 year old grandson cheered along 🥰
I was so moved and inspired. I can’t wait to see which race he tries this next.
