After a disappointing result in Rio, Herbert Aceituno gets the first ever Paralympic medal for with his bronze in Powerlifting.

 

A result that will be even more celebrated since El Salvador also never won a medal at the Olympics.

Despite giving up numerous penalties,  manages to outscore  in men’s goalball.

So far it’s 7 of 7 records broken in the individual pursuits 

 

Might we see every IP record broken at these Games…

+ that's surprising because the sport was broadcast in Rio, and even some World Cup stages have full coverage on the IPC website. Also what's the point of including Taekwondo and only show highlights.

Yeah, I was quite shocked by the omission when they released the broadcast plans. Wheelchair Fencing was broadcast in Rio as well. 

[Olympian1010 7,477]

Just want to point out that I’ve posted in multiple threads and multiple times about what sports would covered. I do my best to keep these threads informative, since I spend a lot of time following these multi-sports games. It’s a bit disheartening to get the same questions and comments over and over. It honestly makes me feel like I’m wasting my time posting on here…

No powerlifting stream scheduled and this is very worrying..

Powerlifting, Wheelchair Fencing, and Taekwondo will not be broadcast. ENG Highlights will be available for those sports.

Speaking of track cycling…the WR fell in every event contested yesterday

Watching the track cycling now, and out of curiousity: why do C1, C2 and C3 all exist, even though they compete as one? What's the point, other than to differentiate between disabilities, if nothing is actually done with said differences? It seems like a whole lot of classification work for basically nothing...

 

Unlike in para-skiing for example, where the clock runs faster/slower depending on the classification.

Each classification has separate events on the men’s side, but they are combined because of a lack of participation, entries, etc. (whatever reason/combination of reasons) on the women’s side. Because the pursuit is a straight race, there’s no factored time. Essentially, C1 and C2 riders are being allowed to compete up a class(es) at the C3 level for this event. 
 

The 500m time trial should have factored times for the different classifications like in cross country skiing, since the result is purely a matter of time against the clock.

Just caught up on last night’s finals in the pool; great day for  

 

Also, shoutout to Abarza . His win gave Chile their second ever medal at the Paralympics. Curiously, Chile has only won gold medals at the Paralympic Games  (1 Gold at London 2012, 1 Gold at Tokyo 2020).

Is there any way to watch all the table tennis matches or we have to enjoy whatever random 2 tables they selected?

Those are essentially the two “show” or “television” tables. One is for classes 1-5, and the other for classes 6-11. Unless an RHB chooses to show some games at another table, only matches from those two tables will be broadcast.
