Mostly in Athletics, but the indoor venues have a pretty good attendance - maybe because they're not so chilly

Attendance was really good before it stated to get dark. I think it got pretty cold today. The Shooting venue was louder than it was during the Pan Ams. Table Tennis had loud cheers going all day. There was a good crowd at Judo too.

What! What did  win gold in? That’s most likely their first Parapan (if not Pan American) Gold Medal of all time!

Nope! Bermuda won gold in Toronto 2015 (I was in the stadium and saw it live!). Same athlete won gold here (Jessica Lewis)

 just threw away a huge chance for their first gold medal. Their shooter had led (with bullseye shooting) since the 10th shot in the Mixed 10m Rifle Prone, but at the very last shot he went wayward and gave the gold too ! Great win for our shooter, but feel bad for the Peruvian. So far women have won 2 out of the 3 mixed gender shooting events (both were from the USA). Great performance from the USA and Brazil so far.

The Paralympics quota is USA's to lose, but Canada might surprise.

No game will ever be as epic as that Rio 2016 final though. I believe that still remains the most watched Paralympic event of all time (unless I’m mistaken).
