Important to note that i’m definitely not talking about the games themselves. Im talking about the national governing bodies in charge of the british teams and athletes, it is already combined in other countries and from what I’ve seen, it seems to have had amazing results

Is it finally about time @TeamGB and @ParalympicsGB think about merging?? Can only imagine improving equality would be easier? Seems to work for countries like @TeamUSA ?

@Fortnums Yes ‘Team GB’ only refers to Olympians and we as Paralympians are supposed to correct when they call us Team Gb and say ‘actually we’re not’. The point about Thursdays reception was that we were all invited together, however with regards to uniform and after events it’s separated

Spoke personally to the CEO Tom Ashton who was very nice and apologetic about the situation, and I’m not sure @Fortnums were aware we were all together at the reception. This goes down to a bigger issue of the huge gap between Team GB and Paralympics GB (yes they are separate)..

It’s sad that we as Paralympians feel the need to speak out about equality so often, and great @shawzac for speaking out, especially as his team mate who he trains with every day was treated differently, I in fact ‘gatecrashed’ the event with a few of my teammates and….. 1/2

Hi @Fortnums 👋 as you’re aware, the Olympic and Paralympic medalists were invited to Buckingham Palace yesterday. It would be nice to understand why you hosted an after party for the Olympic medalists but made the decision not to invite the Paralympic medalists? Why? 😅😅

@robinl03 @shawzac @Fortnums Hello, I went also, and can confirm we were not invited, we ‘gatecrashed’ and were let in. I did have a long conversation with the head of Fortnums who apologised and wasn’t aware of all the separations that go on between para and Olympic team

@shawzac @Fortnums @shawzac - Para Triathletes attended the after party at Fortums - as per posts on Instagram confirm they were there (with their goody bags), So maybe a Governing Body issue?? Sorry you didn’t get the opportunity and hope you get an explanation.
