Summer Paralympic Games 2020

A medal for :OMA! I'm surprised!

After :ESA I didn't expect any new countries to win medals for the first time, especially because in 2016 and 2012 only one new country earned a medal in each edition: :CPV in 2016 and :FIJ in 2012.

Men's Goalball

 

Gold Medal Match: :CHN vs :BRA

Bronze Medal Match: :USA vs :LTU

 

Spoiler

China does it again and at this point they may win the final (they were 7th at the most recent world championship). For these matches, Brazil and Lithuania are my picks, but nothing is surprising at this point.

 

Women's Goalball

 

Gold Medal Match: :USA vs :TUR

Bronze Medal Match: :BRA vs :JPN

 

Spoiler

The expected final. Turkey and Japan are my predictions, although I hope Brazil wins bronze given our historical results:

 

2004: 7th

2008: 6th

2012: 5th

2016: 4th

2020: ?

Men's Football 5-a-side

 

Gold Medal Match: :ARG vs :BRA

Bronze Medal Match: :CHN vs :MAR

 

Spoiler

Brazil (and Morocco) for the win, but Argentina winning wouldn't be that surprising - they beat Brazil in this cycle (american championship) and were runner-up in other competitions.

 

Men's Sitting Volleyball

 

Gold Medal Match: :RPC vs :IRI

Bronze Medal Match: :BRA vs :BIH

 

Spoiler

Another gold for Iran, but bronze medal match should be interesting. Brazil got here losing 3 of 4 matches, so Bosnia is my pick.

 

Women's Wheelchair Basketball

 

Gold Medal Match: :NED vs :CHN

Bronze Medal Match: :GER vs :USA

 

Spoiler

Got the Germany prediction wrong but I think they still will win bronze. China is the favourite for gold (they've guaranteed their first ever medal in this sport!), but the dutch team is hungry for the win after 5 medals but no title.

Just terrible. I wish I could have watched the gold medalist from Brazil and of course what happened in semifinal with your athlete.

I didn't pay much attention to the Hungarian parasports, so I am not sure if this was expected, but we are having our second best Paralympics ever. To put into perspective, have won 5 gold medals between 2004 and 2016 at the Paralympics, and now we have 7 gold medals in Tokyo, which is a huge improvement in terms of gold medals.

    • What are the odds WTA/ITF has Kostyuk vs Potapova AO R1 just to see if the hand shake happens? 
    • Malinin  opted for the 4-Axel in his Short Program, but faltered, landing him in 3rd thus far (and only 0.05 away from 4th!).  Surely he has the tools to rise back up in the Free Program.  (Also, perhaps this will serve to show him that he is in fact beatable.)
    • I think they incorrectly translated Ukrainian word "nahorody" - it is not a full synonym of "medal". Its cocrrect translation is "award". Meanwhile russian tennis playes switched for Potapova ->  Rakhimova ->   
    • Ukrainian diver Lyskun switches allegiance to Russia, loses all medals | Olympics News | Al Jazeera   'loses all medals'   I would assume Al Jazeera could have been a bit clearer and mention this would presumably only be national medals. I mean, it's not like the Ukrainian federation, or any single federation for that matter, has the power to strip her of her world and European championships medals I hope (not for her sake, but because that would be a super weird precedent)  
    • That's what I'd plan as well (except for MelFest), but I also know I am hypocritical enough to still want to watch the show and have a fun evening  
    • Confirmation about the broadcasting rights.   If I'm reading it right, for most of Europe it will now be exclusive to Discovery/Eurosport or whatever brand they use.     For outside Europe, it's on YouTube. For Planet VPN....well, let us know if you find out.   fil-taker-list-25-26-winterberg-1.pdf   Also, should have mentioned above that the Nations Cup races today are just over one leg, whereas there are two runs in each of the World Cup races.  
    • Got our first competition of the season coming up in Solitude, Utah  this weekend.  Live on Discovery Plus etc, plus also YouTube and the Olympic Channel.  If you are new to the sport, the sprint races on Saturday will be the format you'll find easy to understand.     ISMF   ISMF Skimo - YouTube    
    • Surely. Her first coach now works in russia (and grandma lives in russia according to Sereda). They were in contact and despite of full funding from  the girl decided to become the star of russian propaganda.  As I saw in X: "It took the Russians four years of war to find a relatively well-known sports personality to carry out such a propaganda operation."
    • @Josh skimo mixed relay is on Saturday, not Sunday, FYI
    • ... this week, time depending.   Today (Dec 5) 4:00pm: Swimming US Open - Finals 9:00pm: Freestyle Skiing WC Big Air Beijing  9:30pm: Snowboard WC Parallel Giant Slalom Mylin   Dec 6 2:00am: Snowboard WC Big Air Beijing 6:45am: Freestyle Skiing WC Aerials Ruka 4:00pm: Swimming US Open - Finals 9:30pm: Snowboard WC Parallel Giant Slalom Mylin   Dec 7 7:30am: Freestyle Skiing WC Moguls Ruka 9:45am: Ski Mountaineering WC Soltitude Mixed Relay   Dec 8 6:30am: Freestyle Skiing WC Moguls Ruka   Dec 9   Dec 10   Dec 11 4:45am: Ski Cross WC Val Thorens 7:00pm: Snowboard Halfpipe WC Secret Garden   Bills, Warriors, and Canucks (have a headache, can't be bothered to put it in...)   No Elite 16 beach volleyball, weak field and most of the top teams have shut down their seasons already. No Snow League Freeski Finals, Heerenveen Speed Skating WC, Alpine Skiing WC either.
