Cundy  is defeated 

 

Should be bronze for Metelka @hckošice

 

Gold for Cabello Llamas

That´s super cool. Nice bronze and start to the games for him in his weakest event. Should be a good moral boost before his main event the pursuit.

Meh, I can't understand ehatyis happening with our fancing

Getting excited for the para dressage finals. Grade II should be a coin-toss between  (formerly ) Puch and Pearson. Grade IV has  Voets as the frontrunner, but  Riskalla always presents a beautiful picture and could create an upset.  Hosmar should win Grade V convincingly.

What last 50m for Bocciardo

How does it work with having athletes in the same classification, some of whom have two arms (but one with a deformity on the hand I think), whereas others have no arms? Isn't that way too different to be somewhat fair?  

 

Then again, I know you have to combine wildly different impairments to avoid having 800 events with one or two athletes each, but it's sometimes a little hard to really judge how fair an event can be within the boundaries of one class.

They’re constantly shuffling categories around, it’s never really fixed.

Lee Pearson wins again, he is the Michael Phelps of equine terpsichore.

Sadly that's a problem within Swimming events and Daniel Dias has spoken in the past that it was kinda unfair that athletes there were from a higher class (S6) now are competing with him in S5. Anyway, it's nice to see him still managing to get medals.

A tie for and it's another surprising result for the reigning champions in Goalball.
