Very happy to see :GRE Manthopoulou win a silver in 100m :yes

 

I had some expectations for her and was wondering why she disappeared, then I saw her name in the Paralympics and was very surprised, as I had not seen her name for quite some time :yikes:

 

Life sometimes can be brutal but she seems happy now and that she accepted her new life condition :hug:

Medal chance for :BER - Yushae Andrade playing for Bronze in the Boccia!

It would be the first medal for :BER at the Paralympic Games.

something interesting for you guys

 

this guy who won a gold medal yesterday and will probably win another one in next few days

https://olympics.com/en/paris-2024-paralympics/athlete/serkan-yildirim_2000715

 

is in fact the same person as this guy

https://worldathletics.org/athletes/islamic-republic-of-iran/sajjad-hashemiahangari-14422407

 

and he is not blind,  he is a national record holder in Iran in 400m and 2012 Olympian

 

I'm no doctor but I highly doubt he is qualified to participate in Paralympics in T12 class. he probably has a better eyesight than some of us here.

 

there are other Iranians in Paralympics, paid to compete for Turkiye but only this one completely changed his name, guess why ? probably to not get identified. :d didn't work well.

4th place for :POL Damian Iskrzycki in men's boccia BC3 after the tie-break where he lost to :GRE Grigorios Polychronidis. Another 4th place today, if I count good, it's fourth time today :(
