I won't run alongside Bolt

Paralympic champion Scott Reardon believes the Olympics and the Paralympics should remain separate.

The Australian, who claimed the 100m title in the T42 category at the Rio Paralympics, believes that Paralympic athletes "deserve to be recognised" for their own achievements, not in comparison to the stars of the Olympics.

Speaking to Lee James, Reardon explains that "in reality" if Bolt's 100m race was put on after his own that "no one would remember what I did in the race before".
