Not very many para-athletes that I’ll be actively cheering against, but well there’s one 

 

Petrillo, well is a very controversial figure to say the least. Born a male, will compete in female events at the Paralympics, and well I don’t exactly think it’s fair. Feel bad for all of the actual women that are in the same events, wonder what they would have to say about this?

On to something a bit more… positive 

 

I’m be rooting for  Rehm,  Garcia Falagan (so many major championships 4th’s),  Bertrand, Woodhall,  Guity,  Impellizzari,  Alphonse,  women’s sitting volleyball team (when not against Canada at least),  Barlaam, and  Masters 

 

Probably missing a couple. 
 

Edit: Oh, now also  Ishitile
