Today Iran cheated against India in Para archery mixed compound semifinal.

 

India has won by 1 point. But mysteriously one 9 pointer arrow from Iran was upgraded to 10. 

 

India lost the subsequent shoot off by virtue of closest arrow to the bull's eye.

How does that make the Iranian archers "cheats"? The officials make these decisions not the competitors.

I didn't say archers. I said Iran cheated. The team who marked the arrow head during score verification . Even digital scoring systems graphically put it as 9.

Yesterday this guy Townsend won 🥇 beating our Indian guy Nishad 🥈 in high jump. But he is suspect of doping. Paralympics body seems linient towards USA.

I was watching the badminton final between the french and british guy (won by the former)

 

I don't think I ever seen such sportmanship in defeat like Krysten Coombs showed us tonight. That was fantastic to see.

 

And kudos to the winner Charles Noakes obviously

You seem to be very confused. The scores are determined by the independent officials not the competitors or those associated with them. You've accused the Iranians of cheating but haven't explained exactly how they did this. The officials may have got it wrong but that's not the fault of the Iranians.

Ironically they were born within 60 miles of each other as Noakes is from south-east England like Coombs.
