I’ve never seen Wheelchair Tennis played on a clay court before. This could be interesting...

Bronze for  in judo! Brilliant work all day from Subba

Silver for  in men’s T11 (blind) 5000m @hckosice

[Olympian1010 8,053]

World Record for  in one of the shot put events. It was on his third throw and he’s finished at the halfway mark. He seems to think he’ll be the only throwing that far today. I’d say he’s right, so good choice to conserve energy.

He just got the gold medal at the medal ceremony. It appears first place was DQ’d. Gold for  then @hckosice

Silver for  in Table Tennis after losing a close match to  

[vinipereira 3,411]

"Strange" situation at the 5000m T13 event where the brazilian guide couldn't handle the pace, while the athlete himself was in much better shape and probably would have finish better than third

 

At least he won a medal.

Well you’re allowed two guides for a reason. That’s the federations fault

For sure, and this kind of situation where the guide screw up has happened in the past with brazilian athletes. But I guess it's hard/expensive enough to find so many good guides to avoid this.
