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.

    • Congrats to Max for another win. Easy race for him   The battle for constructor championship is still running What a disgrace for the directors of the race to not send the safety car on track due to that mirror which caused a puncture to Sainz and Hamilton. By the way, looking of the direction of Bottas when he hit that mirror we can be suspicious that he did that intentionally. Ok, he had to give space to the driver who laped him, but his direction is too strange. Pitty such race was ruined by this incident.
    • World Athletics announce the World Athletes of the Year.  Big awards go to Letsile Tebogo and to Sifan Hassan.    Women’s World Athlete of the Year: Sifan Hassan (NED) Men’s World Athlete of the Year: Letsile Tebogo (BOT) Women’s track: Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone (USA) Women’s field: Yaroslava Mahuchikh (UKR) Women’s out of stadium: Sifan Hassan (NED) Men’s track: Letsile Tebogo (BOT) Men’s field: Mondo Duplantis (SWE) Men’s out of stadium: Tamirat Tola (ETH) Women’s Rising Star: Sembo Almayew (ETH) Men’s Rising Star: Mattia Furlani (ITA)       Seems a bit strange to me - OK, there is a case for Tebogo over Duplantis who can basically win every year, but for me Manuchikh beating an almost 30 year old WR beats winning Olympic Marathon Gold.    Hassan and Tebogo named World Athletes of the Year | World Athletics    
    • Former snooker World Champion Terry Griffiths passed away at the age of 77.
    • Doesn't matter if Shiffrin is there or not, it's still a last minute defeat for Wendy Holdener.  
    • https://www.reuters.com/sports/russian-uzbek-billionaire-usmanov-elected-president-international-fencing-2024-11-30/   he's officially back...and he'll be worse than ever!  
    • boh?    I don't have a consolidated idea yet...   golds? I hope many, but I fear we won't get to 5   medals? hopefully, more than in 2022   the "athlete of the Games"? Davide Ghiotto (speedskating) and Pietro Sighel (short track speedskating) hopefully, also Sofia Goggia (alpine skiing), Arianna Fontana (short track & speedskating) and Stefania Constantini (curling)...but it's just hope, not a prediction   breakthrough? Tommaso Giacomel (men's biathlon)   newcomers? I think the Big Air guys (Tabanelli siblings in freestyle, Matteoli in snowboard), hopefully Erik Canovi in SkiMo (but, as I wrote earlier, I fear it's too early for him, as he's still a junior) with a lot of optimism, Elia Barp (cross-country) and Daniele Di Stefano (speedskating, mass start)   surprising medals? I don't think there's any chance for  to win a truly surprising medal, all those who have just the smallest chance to make the podium, it wouldn't be a true upset if they get it
    • Stage 4 in Killington (USA)   Women´s Slalom:   1. Camille Rast    1:46.86 2. ex aequo Anna Swenn Larsson  and  Wendy Holdener   1:47.44   Full Final Results HERE
    • How's Petra doing? When is she expected to return?
