Australian swimmer Maddison Elliott has become the first S8 female in history to go under 30 seconds in the 50 long course meter freestyle.
Swimming in Friday evening’s finals sessio, Elliott swam a 29.73 to break her own World Record in the event – a record she set two years ago in 2014 at 30.13.
Her countrymate Lakeisha Patterson actually tied the old World Record as well, but it was in a silver-medal effort.
The win gives Elliott a 3rd gold medal of these Olympics, matching with an earlier win in the 100 free and as part of Australia’s 34 points 400 free relay. She’s also got one silver medal from the 100 backstroke.
Time is running out for this swimmer as i now have copies of txt msg between the parent of one of her team mates and a IPC classifier confirming that they know she cheated to get a lower classification and it was blatant IM !!!
Meeting in Bonn in May then all this new evidence goes to the press and then let’s watch people backtrack
Did you ever send the information to the press? It is June 1 and i have not seen anything. Just Curious.
Great to finally read some expert knowledge from a neurologist regarding Pattersons list of disabilites and her the impact of this disability on her swimming and physical ability. Interestly as a 12 year old Patterson was classed NE for her first classification and then S10 for PD. Then with her claims of CP she was nationally classed as a S9. Also interesting that her swimming coach/club didnt know anything about her having CP, Then in 2014 her ability and medical evidence was questioned when she was internationally classified in Australia from a s9 to a s7, as her physical ability didn’t display any cerebral palsy traits. When her diagnosis of cerebral palsy was questioned, it was said signs of CP… Read more »
Guys maybe you should be nice to FancyBear & ask them to hack IPC . The only way to get any info on anything seemingly .
Or put a bowler hat on & join the Tories . They got this whole sport thing in their hands .

look up the following thread
IPC CLASSIFICATION RULES AND PROCEDURES
I think the expert shows that you really do need to research your facts as he posted the facts based on his medical expertise a year ago on a certain swimmer
https://www.paralympic.org/sites/default/files/document/150915170806821_2015_09_15%2BExplanatory%2Bguide%2BClassification_summer%2BFINAL%2B_5.pdf
Oh dear , there seem to be a problem with the page ,
But all the same too many people think the same about the classification System it’s all about medals and funding , it’s rife in U.K. And Australia,
Cheating and IM , if you cannot see it then you need glasses ,
It’s true what they say the truth hurts and maybe this is he case for some people to get all nasty , until you live it everyday and Experience it as a swimmer or parent maybe it’s best not to comment at all
Mary, when was the last time the IPC referred to this documentation? You are clearly out of touch.
It is wrong of you to attack a parent of a disabled child in this manner. Shame on you Mary.
Swimmingly you have no idea. I am not attacking. Im asking for the video proof to be displayed that is all. This document was dated September 2015 If you would like to read it , you can find it in the classification section of IPC Swimming. After this post, I will bid you farewell as you are all full of accusations with little to show to support it. As I have said in the past, back your reports with evidence or leave people alone.
Mary, you deliberately and ruthlessly attacked the parent of a bilateral amputee swimmer. You then proceeded to report a long time broken link in your defence.
My guess, you are a past (out of touch) Australian S4/S3? para swimmer

Read all the threads and you will find the evidence you want !!!
Read Steve Long post enough people have given the thing you crave the proof.
Search this site for comments and some do go back to 2015 that shows you that these swimmers where a source of controversy back then.
Contact the CP society in australia see if they have any record of a certain swimmer ???
Trouble is when links to facts are given you just won’t admit that you maybe wrong.
Madison elliott the cheat is up for review next year i bet 20 bucks that she swims s9 in prelims really really slow and then like last year she breaks the s8 record in finals lol what a shame thank god im not in her class.
She won’t be moved , none of them will be !
theynwill
Keep on for years to come and push out all Amputees in the swimming world , jutsbwaych tje s8 men how many bi lateral amputee men get anywhere ? None !
Science, medicine… not a factor
1 year 13 days ago
I have a granddaughter who is just getting into para-swimming. I am also a board certified neurologist. Patterson’s constellation of profound diseases is impressive. However, micrographia,???? This is not a disease, it is a symptom of advanced Parkinson’s. She clearly does not have advanced Parkinsons. Further, Parkinsons is a disease in which medication need to be carefully managed and titrated. We delay medication as long as possible as the efficacy of these medications decreases with time and with length of exposure. She exhibit zero signs of Parkinsons. This would be because she is well medicated or she does not have Parkinsons. Parkinsons is associated with very specific gene mutations. Cerebral… Read more »
Exactly, the IPC has little to no science and medical expertise driving their classification system especially with all the various disabilities and medical conditions that now seem eligible. No wonder their classification system is dysfunctional and unfair, as they have no idea on how various medicines treat, impact and assist a condition; the various types of cp under the cerebral palsy label and how they have completely different variables and degrees of physical disability and traits; or any specialist knowledge on any disability or any medical condition. My advice to all para swimmers stay clear of para sport until the IPC and NPCs rectify all the unethical issues with the classification system, address the IM problems and can provide a… Read more »
I have copied a post from another thread and seems to sum up a few facts based on medical expertise
The good news, there’s only one more day then we won’t see or hear of this pair until Worlds next year. Very disappointed in the IPC. They have shown no strength or leadership against classification cheats.
What about the other two swimmers in the relay? That’s a horrible position to put them in. Winning a medal you know you didn’t deserve to win? That would haunt you for the rest of your career and beyond. Very selfish behaviour.
Parafan . Australia & UK are the current & former heads of WADA . Just you wait – we will ban the US next time if you cross us . AND anyone else .Just accept the power that Tory politicians have in the world & this ow includes the IPC head .& Lord Coe .
Far out – how did we do it . F*** we’re good .
Great to see so many gold and sliver medals being won by true S8 swimmers, well done to these young women who have shown true determination in over coming such disabilities.
The fact i wish this was true shows the IPC should hold it’s head in shame !!!
Yet again cheating has led to real S8 classified swimmers being robbed of 4 yrs hard work !!!
Way to go to the cheats of GB and Australia must make you so proud to play on your disability
