LONDON (AP) – Britain’s Susannah Rodgers, her prosthetic leg resting on the starting block, adjusts her cap before the final of a women’s 100m freestyle competition. Eric Bennett of the U.S., who is missing an arm, fires arrows in the archery competition using his mouth. Brazil’s Terezinha Guilhermina, who is blind, runs the women’s 400 meters with a guide to keep her on course.
