I seem to recall watching some of the road racing at London because it was actually relatively easy for the broadcaster to cover as it all took place on the motor racing circuit at Brands Hatch.

 

We've subsequently had coverage of the road racing at more recent Games. Certainly in Tokyo where some of the events took place in absolutely torrential rain. 

There were some basic cameras but not many.

Cross referencing the results system, and the IPC database...

 

 competed at Tokyo 2020, but don't appear in the results system for Paris 2024. Faroe Islands is then set to be unrepresented at the Summer Paralympic Games for the first time since 1984. 

 

 return after missing Tokyo 2020. Bangladesh last competed at Beijing 2008. Solomon Islands and Vanuatu last competed at London 2012. Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste; Macao, China; Myanmar; Tonga; Trinidad and Tobago last competed at Rio 2016.

 

Disclaimer: I checked your question on the fly, so there's a chance I missed an NPC for either category.

Yes, but my point was that there was some coverage contrary to what had been stated and that it has subsequently improved.

The cameras were provided by Channel 4 themselves and not on the world feed if I remember rightly. So much if not all the rest of the world didn’t get the footage.

Sad if the Faroe Islands miss out. They have medalled in the past.
