After Gerry’s ‘71 accident, he temporarily lost his courageous and competitive drive. It was very hard for Gerry to realize he would be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life, but as soon as he did, Gerry’s fiery spirit returned.--backtracks to material already stated

Bertier did have a girlfriend, but her name was Becky, and their eventual split had nothing to do with Gerry’s friendships with his black teammates [22]. --very good research

Overall this is excellent. It uses a wide range of sources and combines the information from them into a seamless and coherent article. This is a great story that I knew nothing about. The inclusion of the critique of the film which sets its version against the previously narrated account is especially engaging.

Paralympic medals?

edit

This article appears to claim that Bertier won multiple Paralympic gold medals. However, the official website of the Paralympics has no record of him ever winning any medals at all, so this claim seems quite dubious. Tad Lincoln (talk) 05:39, 11 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

I agree, no sign of any Paralympic golds in 1972, 76 or 80 when you look at results. Must have been a national champion or something instead. Sheila1988 (talk) 19:03, 23 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
