Read the text Rick Hoyt is American. He has a good job at the University of Boston. Rick is in a wheelchair because he's got cerebral palsy. Rick can't talk, so he uses a computer to talk to people. He also loves sport, and he takes part in triathlons. In the triathlon, people swim four kilometres, cycle 180 kilometres and run 42 kilometres. Rick can't run, cycle or swim because he's in a wheelchair. So how can he take part in a triathlon?

Rick can take part because he does it with his father, Dick Hoyt. In the running, his father pushes him in his wheelchair. In the swimming, Rick lies in a small boat and his father swims and pulls him. And in the cycling, Rick sits in a special seat on the front of his father's bike. Of course, the Hoyts never win the race. The winner of a triathlon usually finishes in about nine hours. The Hoyts always take about 15 or 16 hours. 'That's right/ says Dick. 'We never win. But Rick and I think that we always win.'
