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…

You posted a list of the sports that would be broadcasted, and there are so many that I was under the impression that the list included all sports. Maybe if you started by saying that Powerlifting wouldn't be covered you would get more attention

 

+ 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.

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

 

Might we see every IP record broken at these Games…

 opens up the medal tally with a silver from powerlifting... Guo Lingling is basically in a class of her own.

 

Ni Nengah Widiasih upgraded her medal color

Apparently the goalball arena had enough funds to rent exactly one (1) song.

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

Also just a random info about cash bonus for Indonesian medalists:

 

Gold - IDR 5.5 billion (USD 380k)

Silver - IDR 2.5 billion (USD 173k)

Bronze - IDR 1.5 billion (USD 104k)

 

The National Paralympic Committee will receive 30% of the cash bonus of each athlete, it will be used help to fund the para-sports development and also to send the athlete for his/her next championships.
