In women's para badminton, there is a Nigerian player called Bolaji in SL4 category. But she is playing in SL3 category and winning matches one after the other with huge margins. 

 

I think this is unfair.

Based on what is she an SL4 player (in your opinion)?

Her court movement is fine compared to other players in her category. But she is playing in single court. She should be playing in full court.

Women's T54 800m, time to watch the first and so far only Paralympian who has ever been in my house  (Aline Rocha )

 

Her husband fought tooth and nail to get the IPC to release the geoblock for the YT streams in Brazil, because the rights holder wasn't doing anything with the rights, and it worked, apparently the streams are available in Brazil now

Definitely not, watched that as well Friday  

 

Mostly looking forward to the marathon next week though, that's definitely her main thing.

After the 'Will Griggs on fire' thing at Euro 2016, that had totally disappeared, but yeah, this summer...it. is. everywhere.
