In times of pandemic, it is often hard to find things that bring immediate joy and hope. The Cybathlon was definitely one of these things. Thanks so much for the organizers who put this together, despite all enormous challenges.
My biggest gratitude goes to Estevão, Roberto and the team in Brasilia. The country is going through a lot recently, but they managed to implement all the required updates to the technology and, most importantly, to keep training for the competition. Congratulations!
