Yes, stunning protest from our coaches. Ukraine received a gold and silver after disqualification for Malaysian shot putter due to lateness in call room. Good job 💪

Such a disgrace! They even gave him a DNS like the whole thing never happened

in fact, during the final it was written on the official website that the Malaysian competed under protest. The protest has already been filed

Football 5-a-side semifinals

Pretty straightforward, this is going to be a south american final. Any other combination would be shocking.

 

Men's Goalball semifinals

I was almost right about all teams from Group A advancing, but Japan (which was #1) lost to China. I would bet in a final with the two teams from the Americas, but Brazil definitely won't have a easy win vs Lithuania like in group stage (they really found their rhythm in the last couple of matches and are the defending champions after all).

 

Women's Wheelchair Basketball semifinals

No surprises here although I expected more from Canada. Final shall be Germany vs China but any combination wouldn't surprise me.

Either way, the whole situation is a little iffy. Fair? If it's the rule, sure. But they shouldn't wait until the end of competition to announce he is disqualified - especially considering that he broke the WR

 

This gives a bad look for those involved including the ukranian team, even though they protested before the start.

We did everything right - he shouldn't have been in the sector. Late - goodbye, this is the Paralympic Games, no one has to wait for you. Why he was given the opportunity to compete - I do not understand.

And a new lead appeared - on Ukrainian TV they said that he had failed the doping control. We filed a protest not against one of him, but against all three who were late. And voila - they were disqualified. And a Malaysian can even have bingo - doping + being late. Fate returned us a favor for yesterday, when our Yana Lebedeva was not counted 3 attempts in a row

Official statement from Ukrainian Paralympic Comitee : 

 

The page of the National Paralympic Committee of Ukraine on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, the Equalympic TV channel, as well as the page of the Ministry of Youth and Sports of Ukraine, Ukrainian paraathletes were massively attacked by Malaysian citizens with an extremely large number of insults of the national team in connection with the fair protest that Ukraine filed against all athletes - shot putters (F20), who did not get to the first call-room in time today, August 31, at the athletics competitions.

According to paragraph 5.5 of the rules of athletics, if an athlete is late to the first collum at the appointed time, he should not be allowed to compete. Either the athlete is allowed to start under protest, but after the investigation, the technical delegate decides to disqualify the athlete with his result or this result is recorded as official.

Ukraine, together with Greece, immediately protested against 3 athletes from the teams of Malaysia, Ecuador and Australia, who did not get to the first call-room in time, even before the competition - before the start of the shot put. All athletes who protested were warned that all athletes would protest. A decision on the protest will be made later. At the end of the program, the technical delegate announced the official results of the competition, where the results of the protested athletes were annulled.

Ukraine did everything according to the rules of athletics. We are offended to receive a barrage of negativity from Malaysia for actions we have not taken. We appeal to the IPC to pay attention to this glaring incident and to qualify it as a sign of unsportsmanlike conduct of the country participating in the 2020 Paralympics.

Yes, because making an appeal against an athlete - a mental disabled athlete - for the sole reason oh him being late is the true definition of sportsmanship of course. What a complete load of bullshit.

 

Could they at least have the minimum decency to shut the fuck up ?

The Malaysian authorities have promised a protest. If they win them, I will not be very upset, since we will remain with two medals. And we will have chances to take more gold tomorrow
