An armless athlete from Spain was awarded a wristwatch as a prize for victory

Spanish paracyclist Ricardo Ten, whose both hands have been amputated since the age of eight, received a Tissot watch as an additional prize for winning the World Championship in Glasgow.

The notorious "organizer girls" screwed up again. This time at the World Championships held in Glasgow, Scotland.

Spaniard Ricardo Ten, who lost both arms and a leg as a child, hitting a high-voltage line, was given a wristwatch.

The athlete was not at a loss, accepted the gift with gratitude and a smile and pretended that nothing unusual had happened.

Ricardo Ten is known for his dedication to the sport, despite his limited opportunities following an accident, first as a swimmer and then as a cyclist.

Today, he is a three-time world champion in track cycling, having won his third scratch race title at the Glasgow World Championships.

The 47-year-old Spaniard competes in paracycling in the C1 category for people with "severe" disabilities. His cycling career began after decades of swimming.

I have participated in five Paralympics, from Atlanta in 1996 to Rio de Janeiro in 2016. After Rio de Janeiro in 2016 he switched to cycling. Many were very surprised that I decided to change direction and how quickly I adapted. The only thing that ended my swimming career was my desire to compete in cycling.

Ten's bike is unique because it was designed specifically for him - it's a track bike that has no gears or brakes, and the only complex knot is the handlebars with complex stump-shaped hooks.

The Spaniard also participates in road races and has won more than once, including time trials.

In the last competition at the World Championships in Glasgow, Ten won four medals: two golds, a silver and a bronze.
