The best kick of the World Cup

Michael Cook

Hi there,

Perhaps the most thrilling moment of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil has already passed. Although most television stations missed it, a paraplegic man delivered the opening kick using an exoskeleton. It was an amazing feat of technology which promises terrific benefits for disabled people. I wish all the teams well, but the jubilant look on the face of 29-year-old Juliano Pinto may have signalled the most important kick of the entire tournament.

Cheers,

Michael Cook
Overlooked in the TV coverage was a magnificent effort, many years in the making.
